I am the world's worst for breaking in shoes. They always rub somewhere to start with and I suffer until they have been broken in slowly.What a surprise with these Padders shoes!I wore them to work for the first time today and took a spare pair for when they would inevitably become uncomfortable.........but they didn't ......... I wore them for 9 hours and didn't even think about them. I had taken a risk and bought two pairs, black and navy and I'm delighted that I did.Liked the shoe a lot on receiving them but found them to be a little on the wide side. So much so that they tend to slip off my heals a little when walking. I have had a few complimentes about them. It is just a shame they are not a better fit for me.Loved the shape of this shoe nice height of heel , sophisticated look , very happy with my purchase.Ilove this pair of shoes.I wear them any time of the day.They are confy,soft but when you order get half number smaller.Comfortable and great for work
