These shoes fit me better than any other and I have tried several other brands. I have very wide feet with high arches and gout damage plus they are great for my ugly feet. Doesn't particularly like the drum system; I've already managed to rip the handle off getting up from the barber chair but I can use it if I'm careful not to rip it off again and be gentle I think if and when that doesn't work well I can find a way to tie them up. Also, I believe the price has gone up a lot - glad I bought 2 pairs when they were cheaper. highlighted.
