I took them out of
I took them out of the box and wore them for a 10-hour day at work! They needed no break in they were comfortable all day long. I have osteoporosis and a couple broken bones in my right foot. So shoes are very important to me. I bought these on sale because I think they're getting discontinued. I would advise Thomas and Vine not to discontinue this boot, maybe put the zipper on the right side of the boot and just improve upon it. But you've got a good product here don't just delete it.
