I wore these shoes around my house for 3 weeks trying to make a decision.  Conclusion: The sole on these shoes was just too hard.  I tried putting sole inserts that I have used in other shoes and it raised my foot to high in shoe where the top of the shoes was pressing too much on my foot. I had heard a few testimonials of how comfortable these shoes are but for my feet, the sole was just too uncomfortable for the little walking I did around my house that if worn on a trail/hike, I would have been hurtin'.
