I had a pair of these already, wore them for about 7 years, it was time for update.  I knew there would be a break in period where the shoes feel too tight and make me want to through them in the ocen, so if this is your first pair, wait, I promise they will be worth it.  I did speed up the break in process using the ice method and it worked beautifully.  Definitely  recommend.

I've gotten several compliments on these, they are beautiful. However, if you need these quick, not going to happen...if you are patient, it is worth the wait!

I Would have preferred if they came in a wide.  as a medium it's going to take a few weeks to break them in to the comfort level I had expected but I have no doubt though get there.  They look great .

All new shoes or sandals with leather straps, will take a while to get broke in.  They just seem a little tight across the top of my feet but I know they will loosen up some with more wear.

Very nice. I think they sized them a bit small, but maybe they need more time to be broken in.

They're great, the look nice. But man they take a long time to break in. It's my first pair of VANS and I haven't had the time to really commit to making them comfortable.

Love them, but do break them (or yr feet)  befoe you wear them on a long day or longer walk. But they have become my favorites.

It takes a while to break in. I would suggest thin socks to stretch them faster, but once they stretch they are very comfortable.

I'm so in love with these shoes. Not only are they comfy but they are so cute.

I would like to mention that they do take at least 4-5 times of wearing them to break them in. Similar to a pair of Rainbow sandals. But once you break them in it's like waking on a cloud. Lol

I'm a size 5.5 and got a 3.5. A size 3.5 is equivalent to a size 5. At first, it was really painful but you have to break them in. It took me at least three days to break them in. And when you're not wearing them, make some socks a little damp; not too damp, and stick them in your sperrys. It helped me a lot! Other than the pain in the beginning, I love them!

Edit: I've worn them for just about every day since I've gotten these. Worth it :D

They took a few times of wearing to break in. The first couple of times I could only wear them for an hour or two. Now that they're broken in, I can wear them comfortably all day.

They take a long time to break in.  But that's the nature of the beast.
Also, the laces are a pain.  They tangle when unlacing about 1/3 of the time.
But they are solid shoes which look good.

The arch is a bit high so they need some time for breaking in.  This is the reason for putting a couple hours for length I can wear them.

I really like them now, but the shoes weren't very comfortable at first till I did a little surgery on them. The insides of the shoes by the arches were hurting my feet, so I took a pair of scissors and I cut out the inner shoe footliner where the arches are. Then I inserted thin airsole cushions cut to the shoe size and I inserted those in the shoes and tried that on for size. Works perfect for me. If later I buy another pair of hush puppies, I'll know exactly what to do so I can have a great fitting pair of shoes. I should explain that I have always had a hard time finding the right shoes to fit my feet.. Some shoes I have to send back for a refund. Now I found some good shoes that I can wear as long as I doctor them up first. Also I'm 70 years old so maybe I won't be needing more new shoes for too much longer.  True review, Guitar Bob

I love these and know they will fit - I have an identical pair that I finally got well broken in.  But this process of getting them comfortable is slow with the hard inflexible leather.  If you you patient - these shoes will be perfect!

You may want to break them in slowly and let the fabric strap soften a bit.  Once you do, these shoes are so very comfortable, I want them in every color now!

They are a little small, but I still love them. Like any Doc's they always take some breaking in. Once the are broken they will be the best shoes EVER!!!!
