Shoes are comfortable - once you get them on. They are designed in such a way that it takes a lot of effort to get your foot into them. I agree that you should get at least one size bigger. But they will still be hard to get into. I gave them 3 stars because they are priced higher than I feel they should be for what you get and because they are so hard to get on. But golf shoes in general are overpriced IMO. Of course once Pres. T's price wars get going full steam with China, they will probably cost twice as much along with everything else!
