I use moleskin and it really helpsI saw a TPF’er posted about applying corn pads on the underside. I am going to try that night. I had mine conditioned mine professionally to work in the leather and thought I had broken them in on my one as well, but they are still uncomfortable. Chic (imo), but still uncomfortable for walking 15+ minutes. At least I got the right size (for me?!) .5 size up from Orans.
