These shoes are so comfortable, right out of the package. My toes must be a bit more sensitive since my last pair because I got some rubbing in one area when I wore them without peds. Hopefully the shoes will break in a bit inside and then I can resume that practice. Very cute shoes for fall weather, and long walks (through a botanical garden at the coast, for example!). I love that they are washable, too. Customer service is super friendly. Thank you for the cutest shoes!
