I bought these for an upcoming vacation where I will be doing a lot of walking. I've been wearing them around town to break them in, but they really don't need any breaking in. Super comfortable, very soft, totally cool looking. I love the rubber toe because I often scuff the toes of my shoes. I've walked quite a bit in them recently and have had no problems. These easily dress up or down. The only small issue is that the sides of the boots rub against my ankles, but that is easily fixed with a gel heel insert. All in all fabulous boots!
