When I put these on out of the box I was a little worried that they would need some breaking in before being able to wear for a full day. Decided to take a chance and was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable they were - all day. There was one part of the toe box that was rubbing the top of my toes, right foot, right side but even that went away after a while.  These are great. I wear an 8, bought an 8 - fit is perfect. Like the look too. I wish the black had the same type of stitching.
