As soon as you put these shoes on, you will feel the comfort of the shoe as if it is gripping your foot. The problem is getting into them! The neoprene half bag is a nice touch but awkward to carry in unison. It's snug enough that you don't even need the laces, so you can take them off depending on what you're going to do with the shoe. The fit and comfort is amazing, I just put them on for which I'm deducting a star.
