This shoe, other than color, reminds me of my college shoes - Weegins. These are a little stuff and I'm tempted to do as we did back then.  We put them on our feet, step into a bucket of water to get them thoroughly wet, stepped out of water and keep them on till they dried out.  The shoes became softer and took on the shape of your own feet. (If you try this technique, I will not take responsibility if you mess up!) I haven't tried soaking these yet, because it seems they are going to be ok. I like the soft inside but I do need more arch support.  I always wear around the house and cook with them on...this shows me how the will make my feet feel after several hours.
