"I walk about 1 mile to school and back everyday and if I am not wearing thick socks I can't wear these shoes. I love the way that they look and wear them often, but, I really had to break them before I wouldn't get blisters. Also, consider buying a 1/2 size larger that you usually get. They do run kind of narrow and will make gripping with your toes difficult when walking up and down hill. They are kind uncomfortable, especially at first, but I really like the way they look."
