Not Mark. He's my husband. These are so cute! These are comfortable out of the box. I have a high arch and was able to adjust the the buckles to an easy fit simply. I like the inside zippers. The material has a nice worn look very true to the photo. I'll be getting the red. I wore them around the house for three hours and ran out to run errands. My feet were very comfy the whole time.
They don't have much support in the foot bed might be the only complaint of someone with flat feet issues.
