text: So far, so good! I wore these shoes for a solid 24 hours straight (during the 48 hour film project) without discomfort. I have not worn them with socks and find the inner lining to be comfortable. They are very cute, too! The red color is great in person. I like that I can wear them on my bike commute to work comfortably, but they're nice enough to wear with office attire.<br />My biggest complaint about flats in general is that the heel collapses a bit and the leather gets torn up from coming in contact with the ground. That doesn't appear to be a possibility given the way these are constructed.<br />I can't say they're 5 stars yet because I haven't had them long enough to determine their life expectancy. But if they're like any of the other Timbs I own, expect a long life.
