Okay, I might pop a few bubbles at first, but this is a $60 shoe, so please don't expect the leather quality or arch support that you'll find in a $100+ shoe to get. All sneakers are discounted in one way or another, and you're forced to upgrade to get the style, comfort, and quality you want. Yes, they may have changed them to keep them in the price range for their target market. I mean good arch support if you buy something like the Green Feet, which alone will cost you around $40. Cheap shoes with expensive shoe features such as ECCO shoes are hard to find. I have both Reebok and ECCO shoes. ECCO is a casual road/golf shoe that surpasses them in leather quality and comfort, but at a price. They might last twice as long and end up being cheaper, but they don't look like what I need for work. The look of Reebok shoes allows me to wear them with dress pants like khaki or jeans. That's why I bought it then. As for sizes, I've read people saying they're too small, too tight, and some just can't figure out what they are. For me, the shoes are true to size, but there is a catch to that statement. The shoe has a thicker, flat insole that leaves less headroom in the toe area. I think that's why people complain about the size. If you pull out the original insole, you will see that the shoes fit true to size. I have a cheap insole from Dr. Added scholl I had laying around at home. They have a gel heel, some arch support and a very thin tongue at the front. Thin tongue is the key! I get a fairly comfortable, classic looking shoe with added height and width room in the toe box that works really well for me personally. The additional space in the toe area makes the shoe appear wider and more correct in length. The gel heel and arch support of a cheap insole from Dr. Scholl makes shoes better than the original. Hope that helps.
