I like adidas shoes and they fit well for my needs at work and just for walking. I wasn't sure if it was high tops or just mid tops. Regardless, they're really hard to come by. certainly. I had to buy a shoehorn to put these shoes on. Once on they were fine although one side was chafing my knuckles. Wear larger socks with these shoes to avoid chafing your skin to death with these shoes. They tie together and have a giant Velcro strap that covers the top of these sneakers. Fits as expected but still more difficult than any other high or mid range sneaker to slip into your feet easily.
