Took only a day to break these in though they do still squeak a bit even after a week. Haven't taken them on any long stretches yet so time will tell on just how comfortable these turn out to be in the long run. So far they appear to be quite comfortable. Can't beat the price either. The styling could be a bit more streamlined and less clunky-looking around the toe -- though I guess that's the style with most walking shoes. The extra wide size is nice for more comfort and wiggle room.
