The shoes are quite comfortable but maybe a little looser than I would like. They feel way better than I expected and are probably the best support I've had in a budget work shoe. These aren't Cole Hans, but they're definitely better than Wal-Mart's work shoes. They seem to fall apart as soon as they get wet. I also thought they had a weird look because they almost looked like they were made out of plastic, but no one noticed until I mentioned it. They are great for chefs or anyone involved in food preparation as they are ridiculously easy to clean.
