This isn't the plushest shoe I've ever worn, but when it hits the ground the reinforced sole absorbs the impact well. see with language. After wearing the shoes for 10 minutes, I noticed pain in the tip of my foot. The tongue has a hard outer edge that digs into my leg. I tried everything I could think of to fix the shoe. The only way I see is to cut off that part of the tongue. I'd rather send them back. If I cut them off and the problem persists, I'll lose $40.
