These have to be some of the most comfy shoes I've ever had! The leather will stretch after wearing it. I've had them on for about 45 min and it's already conforming to my foot. I've been looking for a good pair of shoes to wear in Paris and I think these are the pair. The graphite were the ones I ordered. I had tried the black ones on and like them but these are quite nice. I think I like them better.
