I really wanted to love these. They are the most expensive shoes I have ever bought myself, and I was certain they'd be worth it. But the reality is that while the sole is comfortable, the leather straps are murder on my feet. Every time I wear them, I end up with a new blister, and usually after only a few minutes of walking. I've tried variations of adjusting the straps and nothing makes it better. They look great, and the quality is good, but I don't know how much more abuse I can put up with in an effort to break these in and get my money's worth. I'll update this review if it gets any better.
