SUPERIOR Men's Austin Low Height Leather

The Good: These shoes seem well constructed with quality leather and I like how they look. Wide toe box as expected. The Bad: I put them on and felt like I was wearing a medieval torture device. Seriously, these are the most uncomfortable shoes out of box I have ever purchased. The tongue of the shoe is so rigid and stiff it drives into tibialis tendon on the front of your foot and actually makes your feet start to fall asleep from lack of circulation. Leaves a large red welt on the front of both feet after a few minutes just wearing around the house. I took off the shoe and tried breaking in the tongue of the shoe by hand. Serious, at this point wooden clogs would be more comfortable. The Ugly: I must be a glutton for punishment because I have hopes that I can break the shoe in and it will be comfortable enough after that. I’m going to keep it and continue to try to break it in because I do like how it looks and the shoe is wide - doesn’t cramp feet.. If all the edges and tongue soften up and the shoe breaks in a little bit, it seems like it could be a comfortable shoe. I am giving it the benefit of the doubt by offering three stars.
