My feet never really hurt wearing them. Only because the girl I bought them from was great at explaining them to me. She told me.. these were shoes that took time and I had to break because they were handmade and needed to form to my foot. They don't have foam like sneakers, which is why they last and help you stand and walk in a better position.
I wore them for about a week because I took them for work. I work them for an hour one day. Then two hours the next. The third day I wore them on a flight. Etc etc, progressively increasing the time until I braved an entire 12 hour shift.
Because they are hand-made and every foot is different, my left foot was initially tight at the top. I wore a bandaid for a few days there and now they are perfect.
Give it time. They are so so worth it. And I held off getting them for the longest time because I thought they were ugly.

Finally broke down and bought a pair of Danskos. They were expensive and they are not comfortable at all! I wore them for a couple of hours yesterday and then for a 10 hour shift today. I dont think I can bear to wear these again. They feel so hard and heavy, where did I go wrong?
