Bought for my 80 year old father who has hand problems. Velcro seemed like the perfect thing. The shoes are good, well made, heavy and fit well. But after only 6 months of use, the velcro on one shoe stopped working and his shoe fell off while walking and tripped. I just recently sent it to the kitchen floor with shattering glass. There must be a better quality Velcro than the one used on these shoes. Their clientele are people with balance and hand issues, so falling while walking is unacceptable! I give them 2 stars because the fit and finish is good but the quality of the velcro was poor and dangerous.
