I generally like DC Shoes,  I have mixed reviews on them. Some tend to be difficult to break in. This is not one of them.  Out of the box, they are comfortable.  The padding on the insole is soft and cushioning.  It has a memory from feel.  My only complaint, like many others is that it is not what is picture.  The color on Amazon is listed as Grey/Blue,  on the box, it reads Grey/Blue (GBF). The difference is significant.  Looking at DC's website, they show only the shoe I received and do not have the model colors shown by Amazon.  If DC has changed the model, Amazon should updated the picture.  There are enough reviews stating the issue that Amazon should be aware of it.  Aside from that,  I like the shoe, I would prefer the colors shown, but like them enough to keep them.
