I like the way these shoes look. And they feel very good over the entire outer width of the shoe. Just be aware - there is absolutely NO arch support. If I tried to wear them like that all day, my feet and knees would be in terrible shape by the end of the day. I have a pair of arch support insoles from Dr. School and now they feel fantastic. hope they hold up. I would also buy a pair of their ankle boots but they don't seem to come in large sizes. Overall I'm very pleased - just wanted to let everyone know about the arch support issue. I even have slippers with more grip than these out of the box. Update: After a few weeks of wearing they are amazing - VERY comfortable. After putting in a pair of Lock Laces and 2 Dr School, they became very comfortable.
