I love everything about these shoes, even though I ordered half a size up, out of the box they were still quite tight and uncomfortable. So I put on 2 pairs of socks, which of course made them even tighter, but after an hour they stretched a bit. As a result, I'm sure they will be very comfortable soon, but there will be a lull. I'll wear them around the house with socks for an hour or two until they're worn enough to wear all day.
