I have bought 4 or 5 pairs of the original Walkster sandals that have the fabric straps and I've worn them for years.  When I put them on for the first time, they were comfortable.  This isn't the case with these patent leather sandals.  They are much stiffer in the area that fits between the toes.  I haven't really given them a chance to soften up since it's still too cool to wear them, but my first thought is that I'll have to wear them for short intervals to break them in.  Other than that, they fit my foot like a glove, just as all my fitflops do, including clogs, slippers and sneakers.  I wish they made golf shoes.  Incidently, they do run larger than my regular shoes.  In everything else I wear an 11 (and I have wide feet too), but in the sandals, I have to buy a 10 so they fit properly.
