I read all reviews prior to purchasing this shoe. It is true, from the moment you wear the shoe it becomes more and more comfortable. Day one I wore them from early morning till evening in great comfort. The toe bed is wide which I am getting accostomed to. It is great for toes to have all the room that is healthy for the foot.

The half size larger is accurate. At first felt too big. Just wear them in the house and you will see how they mold to your foot. I highly reccomend this shoe for comfort and hope they have them for men. I want my husband to get a pair as we do a lot of walking and hiking where we live.
