I walked about 25 miles in these initially and the comfort is low-medium at best when compared to the other Ryka shoes I've purchased, but for over all quality it was low. I"m not sure if I had a faulty pair or what but I used them for the first time around middle of July 2018 and switched back to another pair. Yes, shoes need to be broken in a bit but these were just not comfortable. Try another pair.
