I got mine in DSW and I love these shoes! They were comfortable the moment I started wearing them. Did not need any "break-in" period. They are a little bit tight in front, but not too tight to squeeze my feet. In fact they make my feet look smaller and I like it. I normally wear size 8, but i bought size 8.5 in these shoes. Very good arch support. i am a very picky shoe buyer, comfort is # 1 for me. These shoes don't hurt my feet, I can walk for a long time. They are also light, yet they cushion your feet and absorb shock. Highly recommend it. Will definately buy another color (like black) if I find one one sale.
