  Blisters galore off mine after I wore them to work for a day. They require gentle breaking in. OUCH!!!!
  
  Eight months on though and they are very comfortable {[]

  Damn, that's what I was afraid of....ah well, no pain no gain....I actually bought them from a shoe store called Leffot in NYC.

  Were they cheaper there and did they have the Ryder III's?

  They were actually a little more than the UK but it was a full service shoe store and they were compelling...plus I like to support local shops.

  I concur!! Wore my Philip's for the first time at a conference last week, ended up with two huge blisters (one on each heel). Agony!
  
  Had to go back to my Ryder III's for a few days to let them heel.
  
  They will indeed require careful breaking in.

  They were absolute beasts, I was hobbling for a week. Same location - on the heel, it felt like they had worn their way down to the bone when I was taking them off. I wore them sparingly for a couple of months after that. Now they are as comfortable as any shoe that I've owned.
