text: This post is pretty long so for those who do not wish to read my full review here is the overview. Long story short they are painful and uncomfortable. I ordered these in my normal shoe size and they run a little narrower than most shoes. I wore them for one shift at work (8-9 hour shift that day) about an hour after wearing them my feet started to hurt and I figured it was just because I didn't get a chance to break them in yet. Well by the half way mark I could barely walk they hurt so bad at the end of my shift I took them off as soon as I got in my car and notice I got a few blisters on my heels. The next day I couldn't walk so I wore different shoes that are not allowed for my uniform which was fine I knew my boss would be ok with it when I explained the shoe problem. I spent most of the day limping around because my feet hurt so bad still. Gave my feet a break for about a week and tried them again. I took them off after 20 minutes because I felt my foot tightening up again. So for the long post. But I do not recommend these.
