I bought these shoes for skateboarding. I'm 31 years old and I skate about 3 hours a day 5 times a week. When I put them on for the first time, they seemed a bit big to me. The entire first day I wore them, the pinky toe of my right foot scratched and rubbed uncomfortably. But the third day I rode in them they became flexible and my toe stopped chafing after wearing these shoes for 12-15 hours. They are very durable. I've spent at least 30 hours skateboarding in these shoes so far. I love her. I had to change the insoles, the insole that comes in Tzare is not very good and comfortable. I switched to Walmart gel insoles. Worn once, these shoes are great, durable skateboard cup shoes that will last you a long time. They are close to real size but a bit big. Not too big in my opinion, I should have ordered half a size smaller.
