To each their own but these are really comfortable in my opinion. Definetely a step up from the 30s and even a bit better than the 29s IMO. I have a wider foot and these fit perfect!
Received my riverwalks last week. Very comfortable shoe. Still prefer the feel of the sole of the xx8 but i prefer the uppers feel of the xx9.
Now if they can just come up with some better designs (hate the blocked out elephant print releases) so i can pick up another pair....
