Comfort really depends on the shape/arch of each individual's foot (this is person-specific) and also the style of the CL shoe you chose. Each designer uses a different last (i.e. the arch area) for their line of shoes, so for some people Manolo's are the most comfortable, while others find Jimmy Choo's the most walkable, and then there are the CL fans. There really is no one-brand-fits-all in shoes, so it does take some test-driving through the various brands to find the one that bests fits you. Just b/c CL is the most expensive (well, generally speaking compared to MB & JC) doesn't mean it's guaranteed to be the most comfortable for everyone. I know people with feet on the wider side generally don't buy CL's for comfort (more for design/style). Also, a lot of CL's 4-inch and higher shoes aren't meant to be workhorse shoes for long-distance walking (more for short-distance walking/special events), as Monsieur Louboutin himself admitted to. It might take some practice walking in high heels to get used to. Which CL style did you get?
