I purchased a pair of sneakers took them home wore them one day and both sneakers were cutting in to the top of my foot by the end of the day. Didn't notice it at the store but as I said as the day wore on I could just feel it pressing into the top of my foot with each step. Tried to return them and they would not let me because I wore them. I work in customer service at Lowe's and we return just about anything in any condition if somebody's not happy. I believe that's the way it should be, I'll never shop at shoe carnival again.
