I bought one, and used it as my sole shoe for 5 days (and I did alot of pavement walking for those 5 days). After 5 days, i still hadn't adjusted enough and it got painful & exhausting after a while. Oh my god I got a lot of attention although. I don't understand how you can stand to wear them for extended period's of walking. Or did it take more than a week for them to be as comfortable as normal shoes.

I've also heard that the black neoprene ones are good for more wintery or colder climates. You'd have to bring 2 pairs for all climates although, because they're way too hot in any summer weather.
