Divine comfort after breaking them in
According to a sneakerhead, the sneakers were “super stiff” at first which is why they were “a little hard to break in.” Another tester shared that during the break-in period, “our skin will be rubbing against the tongue part” if you wear no-show socks. However, they reassure that once the sneaker is broken in, they are very comfortable. One reviewer even mentioned that the kicks are nicely padded. Overall, the GG sneakers are “comfy like walking in clouds,” quipped one sneaker lover.
Durability you can depend on
