Still not fully broken in but these are the best boots I've ever worn. The stiff leather will take a week or 2 to form to your foot but once shaped, it's like a glove. Also note, this is sized as classic shoes, so size down between .5-1 full size from your sneakers

This is a real shoe, not a Nike or Reebok, it will never have the features/feel of a sneaker. If you feet are delicate and you are of feeble constitution, you should keep looking. If you cannot commit to breaking in high quality leather for an almost custom fit, keep looking. This is a classic style with vintage features, a beautiful artisan clothing item.
