It's the first time in a long time that I've tried wearing shoes that aren't sneakers or anything like that. As soon as I put them on I noticed that they weren't the size I thought they would be. I wear a 10.5 in Asics and an 11 in Nike running shoes but they seemed like a half size or maybe a bit bigger to me. I tried wearing them for a few days, but after putting them on to work for the first time, they started hurting my legs around lunchtime. I wasn't used to having my foot unsupported so it could only be me. At that point they really felt like they were going to start rubbing against my leg and it wasn't that bad. Since the bottom is so flat, I'm willing to bet they could be a decent everyday shoe if I had Dr. Sholls or whatever put in them. The quality seems pretty good to them. It looks like an alcove with blue leather and a band around it that looks like someone rubbed it on a tire a few times. When you open it up it looks like it has been worn for months. They're not bad, I just don't think my foot is made for them.
