Well the reviews were spot on. I have to admit I was a little apprehensive about buying shoes online. I used to have problems with shoe size. I was pleasantly surprised that the Lakeside shoes fit perfectly. I normally wear a 9 1/2 D but I measured my foot to make sure I ordered a 9 1/2 M as a guide. Without a doubt these are the most comfortable shoes I own. You must remove the insoles from the shoes and replace them with your own. I was also impressed with how they were packaged and they came out of the box in perfect condition. Great product, worth the price. And they look great too.
