I bought these before my trip to Japan and they didn't work out. On the first day of the journey I bought some inserts in the hopes that I could address the painfully non-existent insoles that they come with. The inserts helped some, but I noticed that the shoes were killing me after about 10 miles of walking on them. I actually ended up spending one of my afternoons in Tokyo trying to find some size 11US(29JP)  shoes to replace these. I paid a lot for the shoes I found because I was desperate and my feet were aching with every step.

The build quality on these shoes should also be scrutinized. I noticed that my left heel was made differently and it feel strange.
