These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. You don't have to break them in at all! They are comfortable from the first time you put them on. They are stylish and flattering. I rarely wear flats but with these I am tempted to get more colors as I wear my beige pair more and more. Your feet simply will not hurt in these shoes. I have worn them at an amusement park for over twelve hours and my feet were fine. For a moderately price shoe, you will not find better.
