Big Al.
Persistence, resilience and blistersI ordered these shoes from "best work ware" as I was after a neat pair of plain black shoes without having to pay megabucks. They arrived promptly and in good order. However, despite being size 11 (I am normally a 10.5) the shoes felt like they were made of wood and were very uncomfortable to walk in. After a couple of days they did ease off but not before blistering my feet and ankles. I havnt worn them since as my feet needed time to recover. This whole experience took me back to the Docs of the 80s which needed at least a week or two to break in...Ah the nostalgia and the pain....
