well, I got mine last night, and are they hard to get on or what? It takes me a couple minutes to put them on, but then they fit fine, but its a pain to have to squeez into the top of the slipper part. This may sound dumb, but does anyone have tips on how to put these on a little easier?

If they are anything like the Nike Frees, slip your forefoot in the shoe with the heel collapsed until the toes are where you want them to be. Then pull the rest of the shoe over the rest of your foot. Use the loop on the back and slip it up over your heel

yeah, I've had those shoes for about a year now, and I still have trouble getting in! But, they streached some, so it's not so hard now :D

I know what you're talking about, the Celar 2's are like that when you put them on.
