I ordered these hoping to have a good walking shoe for an upcoming trip to Europe. I am so disappointed and super glad I decided that I would try to wear them and break them in *before* my trip. The only reason these are getting 2 stars instead of 1 is the memory foam insole alone is pretty comfortable, but everything else about these shoes is NOT!! First, the straps across the arch don't adjust and have only the barest minimum of stretch, so it might work if you are flat footed, but anyone with any sort of arch, this cuts into the top of the feet (and made my feet go numb) within 15 minutes of putting them on. I kept hoping they would stretch and break in, but they aren't showing any signs. Also the top of the heel rubs like crazy. Walking just 1/4 mile to the office caused painful bloody blisters on the top of my heel on both feet (and 1 ordered a 1/2 size up to try and avoid this issue). Even when I put moleskin on to protect my heels, it still rubbed painfully, so unless you are a shoe masochist, I would definitely avoid these!
