      I bought two pairs of shoes from Allen Edmonds when the pandemic first started the shoes hurt my feet so I tried calling them but at the time no one was answering the phone so I had to wait until they started answering their phone again. I spoke to a supervisor and explain that I believe these shoes are sizes 12 ee instead of a size 12 eee. She asked me to send the shoes to the company so they could check out the shoes. I sent the shoes to Allen Edmonds recrafting department and they said the shoes had been wore so they couldn't take the shoes back and that there was nothing they could do to help me. They also said that they had stretched the shoes. They said they couldn't help but they stretched the shoeswithout my permission. The supervisor didn't communicate with the recrafting department properly because the recrafting department took one look at the shoes seem they were wore and just sent me my shoes back witout checking the sizes. when I called Allen Edmonds back their customer service employees were very rude and disrespectful. I asked to speak to a supervisor they placed me on hold but never came back to the phone. I called back a but they kept on putting me on hold.
