I purchased these shoes in October because they were such a great price! Once I received them I put them in the closet until the spring.  About 2 months ago I very excitedly pulled them out and put them on.  They were very uncomfortable.  So, for WEEKS, I wore them around the house and in the car with thick socks on.  I twisted and tried to break them in.  I saoked them in water for a couple of hours to try and soften them up.

  My teenagers daughters have also tried to wear them and immedietly take them off and say they are awful.  My sister purchased the same pair and she also thinks they are awful.

  They are just really stiff and uncomfortbale.  I get huge blister when I do wear them without socks.  I guess they will be my garden shoes and not the shoes I wear to Walt Disney World (which is why I purchased them).

I do not suggest ordering shoes without trying them on first.  I guess I have learned my lesson!
