I have a couple of styles from Fugawee (Martha and Debbie) and they have all
been pretty comfortable. I had a pair of their straight last shoes (Connie) and
even though I ordered what I thought would be big enough, I probably should
have gone another half size bigger. The other two fit well right out of the box
and have held up well. KarenSeamstrix

I have shoe fitting issues, and called them before ordering. I
described my issues, and they suggested that for me, a half-size up
would be the best. I spent about 3 weeks wearing them half-days and
then full days before their first event, but they were comfortable
right away.
The only reason I spent so long getting used to them is that they were
colonial, and I usually don't wear heels. So it was more getting my
feet used to the concept than "breaking in" a shoe.
They are nice to work with, too.
