Two years ago I suffered from Plantar Fasciitis and it was very painful to take a step. I thought trying these shoes would not hurt and I am very glad I did. My first pair I wore for about a year and half as these were the only shoes I could walk in. They are not much to look at but through stretching exercises and wearing these shoes I am now able to use up to a two and half inch heel which I thought would never happen. The Aussee was worth every penny.

I wear an 8 1/2 normally and the 39 fits me perfectly. I own 1 pair with the standard footbed and this pair with the soft footbed. The feel of the soft footbed is different than the standard footbed but both are super comfortable in their own way. They are very simple looking and go great with jeans - they look almost like a boot under the jeans. The adjustable strap helps them fit correctly.

I wear these when I am working at my retail job part time and I'm on my feet for 3-8 hours. My full-time job is at an office, so when I'm on my feet even for 3 hours, they are tired afterward. I have a higher than average arch, so these Finn Comfort's provide great arch support and my feet don't feel as tired as when I wore athletic shoes. They do take some getting used to because of the extra provided support that you don't normally find in other shoes. For me, they are worth the price. They provide the right support for my feet.

I just bought this pair, and have not actually worn them yet...don't want to break them in during our rainy weather! But I do have a couple of pairs of these, one pair that I have to worn to work almost exclusively for the past 2+ years. They are still good, but dont look too great anymore for work, so will wear them for my quick throw on shoes at home, and start wearing the new ones to work. Obviously, I do love the Finn Aussee. I have a somewhat narrow foot, and this particular Finn has enough adjustment to fit me. I work on a cement floor, and the cork footbed saves my feet. They feel a little stiff when new, but after a short time they mold to your foot and become a fast favorite.

Finn Comfort Aussie - Very comfortable shoes, black with brown accents so you can wear them with either color. Perfect for librarians who stand a long time. Finn Comfort is my last resort for tired feet.
