after reading of the many reviewers that suffered from blisters, i wondered if this might be a problem on the most recently manufactured shoes of this style. i purchased mine (in red) about a year ago. theres been absolutely no problem with comfort - they're my shoe of choice for daily wear, summer and winter; after a year they show almost no signs of wear and i reckon there's a couple of years left in them. i should mention that im not hiking or beach combing, just day to day wearing.

size is spot on, fit is good (obviously this is a great shoe for anyone with broad feet) with or without socks. i would absolutely buy another pair, if i cld be sure the problem with the seam giving people blisters was rectified.
