"No break in time, these are comfortable right out of the box. All of the recommendations I read recommended that I go a half size bigger than usual and that seems about right. These are just a tad wide, but not enough to be an issue."
"I tried these on in the store and they were so comfortable that they just begged me to take them home. The shoes have memory foam insoles - the reason that they are so comfortable - and I have had the experience of memory foam mattress covers that have a chemical smell for some days. These shoes, exactly like that. The day after I bought them, I could smell them throughout my apartment. I have worn them once, sprayed with febreze AND Lysol, and 7 days later, I still smell them every time I get near my closet. I am hoping they will air out - not taking them back, but I would not buy them again."
