Although the shoes arrived in a non-original box, it does not bother me at all. I have been using them for a week now and I am very satisfied! There is no need to "break them in" – just put them on and you can go straight away. Extremely comfortable and pleasant to wear, even after a whole day. I deliberately chose half a size bigger because of my wide feet, and thanks to this I have a bit of room for my toes, which means my feet don't get as tired as in Haix or service boots. I can honestly recommend them to everyone.
