Right out of the box these fit perfectly and were comfortable! I usually have a hard time finding shoes that don't pinch my toes, particularly if they have any heel.  These were very comfortable and much nicer looking than in the photos.  My browser showed these to be a more true red than they actually are, but that's okay.  I think the darker and richer red color will go with more of my clothing than the truer red would have.  I'm very happy with them.
