I bought this shoe last year and love it. While looking for another pair in a different color, I came across the lone negative review.  These shoes may not have worked for that particular reviewer, but I have to say I found them to be comfortable, with no "breaking in" period and they don't seem to wear out.  I do wear them with socks, which increases the comfort level.  Also, I own 3 other pair of MBTs and have had the same good luck with them.
