That's a good idea but issue is I don't think I'll be using the credit (if I were to return the second pair).

Hi, that's why I mentioned Saks and Nordstrom both stores refund your credit card, not store credit, so you receive all of your money back.

So I just received my new Princetown that I purchased from eBay. Unfortunately they're a bit long and I see a fair amount of the beige insole beyond my heel. I'm imagining when they break in my foot will slide forward a little bit more. Now for many years I usually purchased shoes where I came completely to the edge because with size 9 1/2 feet who wants extra length, so part of it might be insole peekaboo shock. I have to figure out what I'm going to do since I got a such a good buy ($300!) that I don't know if they bother me $295 worth (how much additional I'd have to spend to get another pair from a store), but I don't want to look like I'm wearing my guy's shoes. I know what's going to happen now, I'm going to scour the web to see Princetowns in action to see how they fit other ladies and whether or not extra room bothers me in the look. Has anybody been wearing their's with extra room at the back and if so does it affect the walk ability?

I went up a half size because it seemed that's what most people did and there was quite a bit of extra insole showing, I'm talking .5-.75 inches. It just didn't look right to me because it was obviously not the right size. As for walking, my foot slid around inside the shoe so I felt I wasn't walking normally. I returned the large pair and bought my normal size and they fit just right. There's no sliding and just a very small amount of insole shows. Why not resell them? I'm sure you'll get a buyer since they're brand new.

Thank you for weighing in [emoji5]
I will wear them in the house and see how my feet settle in
As many times as my feet have suffered for fashion, a bit too big may not be so bad
For those of you trying to see size references, this ia a 40.5 Princetown . I'm usually a 9 1/2 US occasionally 10 but usually 10 is too big.
In the Gucci Ace sneaker 40, In Chanel I'm a 40 1/2, Birkenstock 40, YSL 41

Would putting a non-slip gel pad help? It would at least prevent the front part of your feet from moving forward and looking less spacious behind. $300 is a very good price but if you're not comfortable wearing it I don't think you'll reach out for it in the long run

I don't own these personally, but I noticed these on gucci.com and also that a girl I follow owns them. I think they're so cute!

Thanks for posting the pic! I love them in pink.
I decided to try a pair in black, thinking I'd probably end up returning them, but they're so fabulous that there's no way I'm letting them go.
So. many. gorgeous. Gucci shoes :wtf:

I've been waiting for the return of the Princetown with elastic slingback. Gucci.com seems to have all the sizes in stock. I received mine a couple of days ago -- definite keeper. It's so comfy with the soft leather.

I've been back and forth on which ones to get, with/without slingback. The SL will give me a little more stability as eventually the shoes wear in and might get kinda of floppy. I'm not sure if Gucci loafers hold there shape after breaking in.
