The first day I got them, I tried them out and they were just uncomfortable. Without arch support, I found the arch of my foot starting to ache after half an hour or so. I thought maybe I just needed to break it in, but after a few hours each day, I got no where.<br /><br />I decided to return these and it was no hassle through amazon.<br /><br />I'll stick to my Redwing Beckman's and Wolverine 1000 Mile Emerson's. Obviously, not the same style but maybe Chukkas just aren't for me.
