I didn't expect much from them because they are so cheap. I basically just plan to sit in my office with them. They are suitable for that. But I wouldn't wear them for long walks. I am very happy with her looks. The net is attractive and real black. The leather accents complement the mesh very well. I'm surprised how soft they are. I have a normal foot, not wide, and they are too roomy for me. They weren't built with proper foot flexibility in mind, so my big toe is pushing the mesh out with every step. Small detail but they made the laces too long and I don't even tie them. One of the lace loops broke within the first week.
