When I first got these I was like meh they seem so light and cheap but actually these are great. They are lite but they make walking around the office nice.I probably wouldn't wear these for like a walk around the city. These are more like leisure wear for around the office or a nice brunch but can't say what they'd be like walking around town.They're not extremely tight fitting.but they are.it's like a slip on shoe so that makes them super easy to take off. The laces are more for show so I wouldn't buy a size bigger. If anything go a half down. I wear an 11 and the 11 fits good. I would probably get a good tight fit with 10.5 but 11 is comfortable.Also the price is great so if it lasts me I'd say a year I'd be happy with that.
