1 month update: Well I found something like 5 wears in the shoe's cue ball. There is a seam on the inside of the boot just above my right pinky toe that chafed and ended up causing a blister on my toe. It's a bit annoying. I still love this shoe so for now I will put some moleskin on the toe to reduce friction and hopefully this will prevent blisters. I deduct 1 star for that. - - - - - Right out of the box the shoes were comfortable, no break in time. The cushion is very soft and the grip is solid as I usually play on a pretty dusty pitch, rarely slide and I don't need to dust my shoe soles. If I had to complain about something it would be that the shoe gets a little warm after a few games. But other than that, I'm glad I have it. I love CJ and am a fan of blazers and these shoes look great on the foot.
