Great, right out of the box
"These booties were fabulous the moment I put them on. Had to figure out the zipper versus the laces, but I got over that quickly. I wore them for a 1/2 day the first time. No blisters, just comfort. And so cute! They are now my go-to, somewhere between my sneakers and my winter boots. Recommend. Lots of room in the toe cab (I have a slightly wide foot, but not wide enough to by Wide sizes). Good sole for slightly yucky sidewalk conditions as the weather cools. My arches are lower, but this is comfortable."
