These shoes were comfy from the get-go.  I have physical challenges and had my doubts, but I was able to go all day the first time wearing them.  Light as air but supportive.  Attractive & go with just about anything. Fingers crossed on holding up for the long haul. For a non-leather shoe made from next to nothing, they seem a bit pricer than one would expect; however, I would buy another pair in a heartbeat.
