Ok so it feels better after broken in. Can be worn without socks and with socks as long as it is thin socks.
Wore it to the airport and perfect on the plane, as u can take it off a little bit and relax ur feet on them.
It's so comfortable with thin socks that I forgot to take em off at security lol.. Took em right off when they told me to, which is good lol
Btw I just make a knot, I don't really tie the shoe laces.
Anyway, recommend wearing with thin socks, not without socks. :) it would've been 5 stars with a little more arch support :)
Ps: recently bought Ed hardy one (same price) and it has more arch support :) this one and Ed hardy one are my fav shoes~ haven't worn Ed hardy around people yet, this one I got many compliments on my trip!
