Excellent shoe
The Cloudflyer 5 was a perfect fit (size 11), break-in period was about 1-week (walking around the house, short walks outside and a few quick dogs. Break-in was truly quick. Support for the foot was fantastic and the stay put tongue was a blessing. Excellent shoe! Highly recommend.

Sweet comfort ride!
These shoes are super comfort, good looking and most of all like walking on air. I only use them for walking and standing for long periods in front of my classes. I would definitely recommend these shoes. I bought two pair because they are always changing styles.
