These shoes are really cute. I immediately took them out for neighborhood errands without socks, walking ~ 8 blocks. They were initially very comfy, but I had several blisters by the time I got home and couldn't wear them for a week. The leather is very stiff. I've since worn them to work (short walks), and they seem to be breaking in fine. I won't be wearing them without socks again soon, and I'm not sure if I'll try them for a day full of walking, but I am glad I kept them.

Revision: The first pair ended out working out so well that I ordered a second pair. No blisters at all (with socks :).  I don't hesitate to grab either pair to wear all day.
