So I bought this shoe for myself with no feedback from my wife. I thought they looked good in the photos and they needed wide shoes with no laces and good support. The shoes are just ugly. They are shiny, not velvety, but look plastic and very shiny. The support isn't as good as other brands I've tried. It's okay, but feels like I'm walking on a hard surface, not soft, not "bouncy" or anything. Also, I was the prankster at every meeting I went to. Everyone laughs at shoes, everyone hates them. I will continue to wear them but I would advise anyone thinking about buying them to have someone with a sense of style look at them first. I wish I had chosen different shoes.
