I bought these for my husband to wear at home on the weekends. The shoes run very large, so you need to choose the size smaller, otherwise they will be too big. Even downsizing to 12 when he normally wears a 13 would suit his wider foot. I will say that the laces are more for decoration than function. Since they're more for decoration, you really can't tighten them up so they really stay in place when needed. So if you have slimmer feet, you might want to consider a different shoe option. The shoes look great and feel better than I expected. All stitching is excellent, laces are as expected. Overall, I would definitely recommend these shoes, albeit one size smaller.
