These are so cool. You remind me of my youth! They were cool then and they're cool now. They're not what I would call comfortable, but they never were. The Cortez has no arch support and is a narrow shoe. I wouldn't recommend them for people with wide feet. If you have a narrow foot and can do without arch support, you could be rocking the bad guys! When wearing Cortes, I like to complete the look with other retro pieces like bell-bottoms or retro t-shirts. Compliments to them and wearing them makes me feel like a million bucks.
