Although the shoes came to me in a non-original box, it doesn't bother me at all. I have been using them for a week already and I am very satisfied! There is no need to "break them in" – just put them on and you can go right away. Extremely comfortable and pleasant to wear, even after a whole day. I specifically chose half a size larger due to my wide feet, and thanks to that I have a little extra room for my toes, which makes my feet less tired compared to Haix or service shoes. I can honestly recommend them to anyone.
