These shoes are very comfortable, right out of the box. No breaking in need. These Profets are more comfortable and much less heavy than Clarks Bendables. They are 360 comfortable.  All parts of my feet feel great in these shoes. The leather is supersoft, but the shoes are structured. They're lightweight on the feet, so much lighter than the heavy soled walking shoes I'm replacing with these. If you have corns or any foot problems of that type, this is the shoe for you. You feel no pressure on your feet when wearing these shoes.

Attractive for walking shoes, there's top stitching around the sole and on the top of the shoes. It looks very similar to the way mocassins are stitched. The shoes have a shock absorbent insole. Nice 1" heel. While not an abundance, there is arch support.  I usually wear medium width, but purchased the wide. I wear my arch support orthos and thick socks with this shoes. The wide width was also on clearance in the black and beige in my size 10. They fit generally true to size. They may be just a little generous. Even with my socks and orthos, I still have plenty of room for a comfortable fit.  The strap and buckle closure allows for loosening or tightening the shoe to the foot. These were a good purchase for me.  I also like not having to be bothered with shoe laces coming undone throughout the day.
