Shoes felt as if they would be comfortable to walk in, but there was an issue with the ankle strap. It was much too tight, and normally I would say it would break in, but I could tell that it would not stretch to a point where it would become comfortable. As any woman knows, feet and ankles swell as the day goes by, and unfortunately any stretch that would make the ankle strap fit better in the morning, wouldn't be helpful by the evening.
