I must admit these are cute.
However, I have tried to break them in for over a year, with no luck. They hurt my toes when going down a hill/incline/or stairs, and the hurt is more pain than just uncomfortable. Furthermore, the back gave me blisters every time i wore them.
I really hoped they would break in since they are so cute and perfect black color, however i gave up after a year. My theory is that they are just too tough and now i am looking for something made out of a soft leather.
