Have been wearing these shoes every day for over a week and they are uber comfortable flats, true to size. I have also been wearing them with little sock liners and so, have zero issues with blisters. Although if I wear these bare-footed, I can tell I would have a problem with the back of the shoe digging into my heel a little bit. The cushioning is quite good, not bulky, and feels very plush. The elastic inside the shoe really does hug your foot without being too tight. There is a lot of quality built into these shoes; the stitching is good and they seem, so far, pretty durable, and the leather is soft and of good thickness; worth the investment, in my mind. I have the most average-sized foot out there: 8.5 and ordered the black, which goes with nearly every outfit in my closet. They are lightweight, packs/tucks away neatly in a suitcase, so they make the ideal travel shoe. Universally classy, I'd say these shoes would wear out long before they go out of style!
