These shoes are comfy if you can get them on. It was pretty easy for me to get them on the first time, but for some reason the second time I had way more trouble. This sprint style is great if you have a high inset (top of your foot is thick), some of the other styles don't stretch as much at the neck to get your foot in. I like these because I love to walk around barefoot, so these shoes are pretty much as close as you can get to that. My MIL has quite a few pairs in different styles and I know she turns the ankle inside out overnight to stretch them out a bit if they are rubbing at the ankle. The one thing I learned with these shoes is to make sure your toes and ankle is in place before you strap them, otherwise you will uncomfortable. Got these for $50 on amazon, don't know if I would pay more:/
