I buy these for my fiance because of all the positive review they receive and hope he would not find the breaking in phase to be too bad . he love they ! this be a man who buy real denim jeans and accept that the " breaking in phase " will take almost a year , so he be happy that the shoe be perfectly comfortable within two week . it be be about 6 month and he say they be only get better by the day . he like that they have mold to he foot . he tell I that he will never buy another brand of sandal . he be now a rainbow man .
