Needs some rolling. But that was to be expected. Received this afternoon, very satisfied. I will update this review in a week. I am back! It wasn't hard to break them. I have a health issue that makes my legs look like two fat hams. I slipped these on with no socks this morning and they're pretty comfortable. Tonight, before we go out to eat, I'll try them on with silk socks. I'll let you know how it goes. preferably with socks. great shoes.
