Wow, these babies are stiff!  I wore them around the house for about five minutes and seriously could not take the pain.  Like others mentioned, the tongue is way, way too short, it ends up jamming the front of my ankle.  I even tried a thick pair of socks and it didn't help.  It would probably take a hundred or so people wear them over the course of a week for them to get softer but I guess that kind of defeats the purpose of having my own shoes.

I ended up ordering a pair of Etonic Paisley bowling shoes off another website.  They are also a bit stiff but feel like heaven compared to these.
