So the shoes arrived and they looked well put together and I really liked the style. I'm an 8 1/2 wide and I usually go up the size if there isn't a large size available, which usually works well. (FYI, I have very flat feet :/ I've given the shoes a week to break in. I've worn them to work where I stand 7 1/2 hours a day and I've also used them in training. My feet hurt so much From the second day I was still wearing them because I thought they would feel better but they didn't.Also I was very happy with the style as I mentioned above and the protector on the bottom was awesome.. who loves and wears them all the time.Great shoes but I don't think they are made for people with flat feet.
