So I was trying to save money by ditching the more expensive brands like Dansko so I take some responsibility for my dissatisfaction with these shoes. You get what you pay for as they say. My biggest complaint is that there is basically NOTHING in the way of arch support/shock absorption. I walk to and from work and wanted something that I could wear walking to work and during the workday (and I do a good deal of walking at work) that didn't require lugging sneakers in addition to work shoes. These fit well around my foot (note my feet are slightly on the narrower side so if you have wide feet these probably won't work well) but even on my carpet I could feel the pounding in my heel. There is no way these would would stand up to extended periods of walking without causing significant discomfort to my feet. I also find the material cheap looking and on the thin side. I'm just going to have to plug my nose and spend the cash on shoes that have proven up to the challenge in the past.Im really loving the shoes, my first pair of klogs ever, so I didn’t know what to expect. They took me a few days to break them in but now I hardly experience any pain at all in and I’m on my feet almost all day.I have a flat foot( no arch) so my regular tennis shoes weren’t doing a good job at all. Give them a try. They were under $50 and so far very worth it (been wearing for about 3 weeks)I ordered a half size smaller than I wear after reading other reviews. I cannot wear socks with them, but I've been wanting a pair to wear sockless so I'm going to keep them. Comfortable shoes and I like the slip ones. We will see how they are for my plantar fasciitis after I wear them for a while.These are nice , the fit is a little different from the mission and cardiff mule. There not as pliable , seems a bit stiff.Look nice and fit well. Not quite as cushioned as my older rubber Klogs but still good for everyday wear.Reviews by others were helpful when they said these run a bit large. I normally wear an 8 M, but ordered these in 7.5 M and they are perfect. The shoes look & feel great! I got 2 pairs to alternate for near-daily wear. I took out the liners & put in my orthotics. I sprayed them with suede guard for protection of the leather in winter weather.Not a good shoe for anyone on their feet all day . Fit snug , hurt my feet . Not enough arch support , not enough support in the shoe at all .Not as comfortable as their mission style Klogs
