I bought this same shoe a year ago in a store, for almost twice as much. We were on a trip, and my feet were killing me, so I bought the wave shoe and had instant comfort. When I saw these on Amazon for much less, I bought the brown ones and took them with me on a trip while brand new. These shoes need no breaking in...pure comfort from the start. The sizing was exactly true for this particular shoe.

I also bought the Clark's Mary Jane shoe, but they were a half size too large for me, and need breaking in, even though the sole is pretty much the same for each shoe. They are not as flexible and soft on the foot.
