I bought these and wore them around the house for a week to break them in, went on a trip and these are the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever worn in my Life!!  BLISTERS BLISTERS BLISTERS....  The leather does not give at all or soften with wear, I threw them away in the hotel as I knew I'd never wear them again.  I am a shoeaholic and I would NEVER buy this brand again.  total waste of money!
