I bought these espadrilles because a co-worker wore them to  work one day and I loved how they looked.  She said they were comfortable, but she did have to wear them in a bit and I agree with her.  I found them to be comfortable, but a little tight in the front part of the foot.  I was able to wear them all day at work without much discomfort.  I do have a desk job, so I'm not on my feet all day.  I do believe that after I wear them a few times, the shoe will stretch and be very comfortable.  I also like that I am helping a good cause by buying TOMS shoes--guilt-free shopping!
