Has anyone not found Supergas comfortable?

[Liveinthepresent]

Just bought some white ones for holiday / summer. They look great but feel quite heavy and high on the back of my heel - every review says wear with socks for a bit and they will soon be mega comfy.
How reliable is this information? - will be gutted if they don't wear in and at £50 would rather return them for something else if there is a risk they will rub my heels for all eternity.

Mine aren't great, I find the canvas a lot harder than converse.

I didn't get on with supergas. I found them much heavier than converse or springcourt to compare other canvas shoes.

Fit wise, I think they are wider which made my usual size slightly too big, I tried going down a half size but that made them too small in the length, so I think length wise they are true, just very roomy across the toes. I didn't have a problem with the heel, but they rubbed for me because they were too roomy.

I still wear converse, but for a tennis style shoe similar to superga, I love my springcourts, they are super light and comfy.

Thanks for replies - they are indeed very wide and I have sized down a full size already!
Think I need to try some alternatives and then Probably send these back - shame but will annoy me too much if they aren't comfortable.

Yes they are heavy, definitely! (but I haven't had my comfort problems, either with or without socks)

There was a brand mentioned on here recently as an alternative (wasn't converse or springcourts) which look lovely, cant think what they are called! Maybe a search would throw it up?

I'm still trying to break mine in, killer on the heels. Prefer converse.

Right am searching for converse , spring court and the mystery ones Daryl mentioned - any other ideas please let me know!

I tried to like them as I love how they look but I found them too heavy.

No good for me, too heavy, too wide, too deep and too flat.

I have supergas and i have no issues with them. I have bought these recently though and love them:

You can get them in all different colours. Mine are pale pink :)

I love my Supergas, they're like walking on marshmallows. I went into the shop in Spitalfields today, the Spring Summer range is gorgeous.

Bensimon! Just remembered lol sorry. Although they look quite high on the heel as well, so you might not find them any better. I haven't tried them myself, they're in my wish list for when the supergas are past their best.

i like my supergas too, more comfortable than converse but i guess you like what you like

Rocketdog pumps also nice, I like them but they're not as hardwearing.

Like my Supergas but not worn them enough yet to comment on long-term comfiness. LOVE Bensimons though! La Redoute often have them.

Mine are really comfy but I don't get in at all with Converse (get blisters within minutes!).

Love Superga, I find Converse way too narrow and flat.

I have wide feet, though.

they make my feet sweat!

I don't find them comfortable - I buy Spring Court instead, which are unfortunately more expensive than Superga.

I love them but yes find them a bit wide. I was surprised they were heavy when I tried them first but I find they don't aggravate back pain and I can wear them for longer without getting uncomfortable in them - I find converse flimsy and uncomfortable.
Love the colour selection too. Have ordered the Khaki green ones and cream/ ivory ones for summer

I cannot wear my supergra shoes. Treated myself to the leather ones and the heel is so hard it rips Mt feet to shreds, sox make no difference. And I contacted the manufacturers and they could not give a toss
