I bought these shoes for my husband. When I showed him the photo and asked if he would wear them, he apparently reluctantly agreed. He wasn't crazy about them, but he knew I liked them, so he agreed. He's glad he did! He has a lot of shoes, and he says that this one might be the most comfortable he's ever had. I probably won't wear them outside when it's wet or rainy. Not sure how they will hold up. true size. So far, so good!
