I am a church organist and bought these to use as organ shoes. Other companies' official "organ shoes" cost three times as much and are essentially the same. They are very comfortable and the sole is nice and soft to feel the pedals better. It's nice when the soles and heels are covered with felt material to prevent rattling and clicking. Greatness approached. I usually wear a 9-1/2 but I have wide feet and the idea behind organ shoes is to have less wide shoes so I ordered a size 10 and super soft they were perfect!
