Most uncomfortable shoe I've ever bought. I was hoping to break them in on a recent trip - got a few hours in and the top of my foot was so bruised I had to walk into a shoe store and replace them. 4 weeks later, my foot is still discolored. The top of the shoe is VERY stiff. Perhaps had I been able to break them in, I would have had a different experience. I was very happy with the fit, although I would say they run slightly large, they have great arch support, and are great looking. Still disappointed I couldn't keep them.
