I paid a few bucks more for the black smoke color but I'm ok with that as they are hard to find. I've been wearing this Nike Pegasus for 35 years. If you've found a great 4E shoe, why switch? I've tried other more stylish shoes and they last for hours, but I wear Pegasus shoes every day, all day. As a teacher, I'm on my feet a lot and walking around a big campus, and that's great!
