it's probably similar to leather soled shoes.
i've got a pair of loakes that i hated when they were new... but now they're wearing in, they're actually quite comfortable. i've noticed that there are some depressions on the inner sole where my heel and the balls of my feet are. i guess that's what they mean when they talk about shoes moulding to your feet...
not hugely comfortable, but great for the pure fact of wearing something crafted on my feet. i might get me one of these brooks things. anyone know when the swallow is released? [i'm only thin]
