I bought this shoe because my feet swell up a lot during the day so I was looking for shoes with velcro to easily adjust while walking. Day. I have been using these shoes extensively for over two months and they were broken in easily and for me they were quite comfortable. These shoes are comfortable and easy to adjust for all-day comfort. They were easy to put on and take off. In general, the shoes have a pleasant appearance. I don't like the large leather flap used to secure the shoe. An aesthetically bulky strap is not attractive. A narrower strap or multiple straps would achieve the same goal and be much more noticeable. At this stage of my life I need comfort and I have to give up style and fashion. So this shoe has served its purpose. They were comfortable and easy to put on and take off.
