I ordered these in the blue 11AA.  They were a great fit and I was able to wear them straight out of the box with no break in time.  They work very well on the cobblestone streets I walk on daily.  I was surprised that they would be so cushy and not need a break in period, especially since it had a heel to it. Along with the adjustable hook there is a small elastic band that helps keep the back in place so there is little to no slippage to cause blisters. I am very pleased with the product.  The blue is a nice soft color that goes well with jeans too.
