I bought these as clean, inexpensive shoes to wear at home for indoor workouts. They are a bit slippery on the soles and I wouldn't recommend them for outdoor use but they work for the purpose I use them for. I'm a size 9 and they're about 1/2 size larger and they're also wider than the average shoe, but I was able to get by with some decent insoles, which I also recommend because they don't have a lot of padding or arching. support in them. But hey, they work for what I intended and the price was right. If all you're looking for is what I was, then you won't be disappointed.
