I am always on the lookout for the perfect shoe. One that is comfortable all day and right from the beginning. I hate shoes that you have to "break in." Personally I think if you have to break them in then they did not fit you right to begin with. I recently came upon a new shoe company that claims they fit right. right out of the box. They are called Merrell shoes. If this is true, I'll be sold for life. I cannot hardly wait to try a pair!
