It's kinda ironic that you are complainig about the pain of these shoes and your name is "Bring_da_pain." Just thought that was funny.
Anyways, I have had the same exact problem as you. I actually bought two pairs, and I wore the first twice and never wore them again. I tried it once and had to take them off. And the second time was just because I only wore them once and figured that I'd have to get used to them somehow, but the pain was too much. They are a very cool looking shoe, and I think that's where they got the idea for the Breathe Free's. I still have them, in black, and maybe some day I'll take'em out again, but for now, forget it! But I heard the same thing, wear them a few times and then they'll feel unbelievable. Well, just getting past the first two times is almost too painful to even try any more times. Well, good luck. I still have two brand new pairs. Later
