When I found shoes that fit me, as well as the washable Propet Walker, I kept buying them and replacing them when they wore out after a few years. Now I have the 8th pair. I had both black smooth leather and black suede, the same great shoes but with a slightly different look. Smooth leather can be polished and stays new longer than suede. (Slightly dressier.) But suede is washable. I just take off the insoles and wash them in the kitchen sink with a spray bottle; works great and makes them look darker again when you wash off the dust. I wear 14W and they fit pretty well and I think true to size. Recommend!
