I just received these hikers. They seem to be of good quality. I like to wear shoes around the house for a few days to break them in. Not much breaking-in is needed. Comfortable right off. I wear 8.5 wide, sometimes a 9. These hikers might run a little large. I am glad I bought the 8.5 this time. Plenty of room in them.
