I found these shoes on several other sites and was glad to see that Amazon had them for $16 less than anywhere else. They fit like a glove out of the box. The leather is very soft and comfortable and the foot bed is padded a bit. I wore them around the house all day and on a walk and had no problems with pinching or rubbing or discomfort of any kind. I am going to live in these shoes this summer! Also, hooray for 2-day shipping!
