Very comfortable. I have serious problems with my feet and if there are places that pinch even slightly, I can't wear them. It's like socks, they fit so well. The soles are light, so if I have to stand a lot, they don't fit. But for casual gatherings at home or just chatting, they're great. Very convenient. And I think they look good too! By the way, I also have a well-carved calf. If it weren't for my authority issues, I would have made an excellent Victorian footman.
