This shoe or boot is extremely comfortable right away. There is no break in time for them. Quietest shoe with the crepe sole. You can literally walk in hardwood floor and it sounds like you have socks on.they also match all jeans khakis chinos or whatever!! Very nice product would deff buy again. The only con I can think of if it really matters is that the crepe sole gets very black and dirty but you just need warm soapy water to fix that. 5 stars!!!
