Expect any espadrille to be comfortable OUT of the box.  These are not and do not expect them to change.  Fabric is stiff and cuts in top of foot even though they feel the right size.  NO padding at all under fabric foot bed.  Wore them around the house and could not wait to get them off.  Also got the beige in 5.5 and color is NOT beige.  VERY drab and greenish.  Do not recommend.
