A few years back I bought 2 pairs of Bernie Mev's rubber-soled shoes with elasticised uppers.  I LOVE them!  I can wear them all day long.  Since they were getting a little worn I bought the Mary Jane.  I am very disappointed.  I bought the exact same size and they were a little larger.  They have less cushioning in the sole and I couldn't wear them the whole day.  My feet started hurting after a few hours.  What's happened to your quality Bernie Mev?
