I love these shoes.  I had minor discomfort my first 1-2 days from the stitching on the inside, but they wore in immediately and they have been nothing but comfort ever since.  I have been on a desperate search for support, everything from Merrel to Birkenstock, but the simplicity of these has blown my mind in terms of comfort.  They're just great.  And believe what they say, these will stink when worn without socks.  I thought, "these reviewers are probably just sweaty people, I hardly ever sweat, especially from my feet, so I won't have that issue.." but no, my feet stink like crazy after wearing these for a day.  Paired with a anti-odor spray, these shoes (sandals?) are miraculous.  Buy them.  I get a new compliment almost every day I wear them.
