Next up, a pair of Neo booties! The leather's a bit stiff, but they don't give me blisters as I'm breaking them in. I love how comfortable they are even right out of the box, and I definitely appreciate how work-appropriate they can be (especially on days when it's too cold to wear ballet flats).
One thing I didn't realize until after I started wearing them out is that how low the leather is. The shape of the boot is really good for my weak ankles and flat arches, but presses down on the tops of my feet. I'm hoping the leather will eventually give and mold better to my feet, but I don't want that creased line going across the shoes (where the shoe bends as I walk) to be permanently visible.
