text: I need to break these in - because a blister formed on my heel after walking for a mile. I sort of expected this in shoes that don't have the &quot;sketcher's&quot; soft edges. I ordered them in an 8 1/2 because most of the reviews said that they run small. Therefore, my foot is definitely a size 8 = so the length is more than I need, but that's not an issue with the manufacturer. They have enough cushion to make walking comfortable. If not for the blister, I would have given them another star. I like the style and look more than the fat shoes on the market with white soles. They remind me of the &quot;grasshopper&quot; that Ked made. Very durable!
