I hate buying shoes but was happy to try these on. I like simple slip ons. I have very large poops (size 13) and they are also very wide so it is difficult to find suitable shoes. I was hooked as soon as I put them on. They have a small cushion and are easy to put on. They are very light and have a rather thick sole at the back. Lots of room for toes. Don't sit too tight. The only thing I do complain about is that the side panels are slightly raised and protrude from the tension from the lacing. See my photo. (By the way, you don't have to tie the laces, and they came pre-threaded.) It's just a design flaw, but those like me who subject shoes to a lot of everyday stress are likely to find unwanted wear and tear over time. Not a bad shoe for the price, although suitable for everyday use.
