I have really bad feet, and this shoe is sturdy..... too sturdy. It has NO give, and after 7 weeks I gave up trying to break it in. There was not one single time where I was able to wear this shoe the whole day 2 days in a row. The very top of the shoe is very hard around the ankle, and it dug into my ankle bone, causing soreness. This might be a great shoe for you if you have perfectly shaped feet. Not a shoe for me though.
