Overall quality very good. Worth the price for me.
I found them to only need slight adjustment of the laces looser for me right out of the box. That allowed more room for a slip on fit which I prefer. I love that feature alone. Very comfortable. I have noticed a trend among current shoe makers to use a footbed that sort of forms to your foot bottom and toes every time you wear them. A type of memory foam I guess. It seems to me that after a few months, they all tend to feel hard and lumpy when you first put them on then after a few hours or steps they reform the fit. I prefer a gel but type insole but they seem to be out of favor. Sad.

If a deck shoe and a walking shoe got married . . .
Okay, I might as well say it up front. I just turned seventy-four and I'm going through the sort of changes that go with it (increased body aches and pains, injuries from the littlest things, lifestyle changes that go along with the freedom and flexibility of retirement, etc.), and naturally, my wardrobe purchases have been changing along the way. I no longer buy a whole lot of "dress clothes". I now only own one suit. And I have steadily reduced my collection of expensive dress shoes and replaced most of them with comfortable casual wear, mostly walking shoes and sneakers. By the way, one age-related thing that developed and impacted upon this particular segment of my wardrobe was my developing a need for prescription orthotics to alleviate foot-pain that has been exacerbated by my increased exercise and walking activities. Forgive my bragging, but I start practically every day with a four-mile walk! And so I own high-end walking shoes with removable insoles that readily accommodate my orthotics. But I can't wear "work-out" shoes everywhere! So I decided to buy some casual shoes that also have this feature but can be comfortably worn without socks and let me avoid looking quite so much like Charlie Brown from Peanuts when I'm wearing shorts! I tried several camp-shoes, deck-shoes, and mocs, but none provided the support and comfort I was looking for. And then I found these! Perfect mix of slip-on (or tighten up with the laces) comfort and style. Great materials, details, and workmanship, regularly eliciting compliments. And the support they provide is the best I've ever seen in shoes of this style. They're like a deck shoe got married to a walking shoe. I wear them some of almost every day! I just hope they prove to be as indestructible as they look!

Perfect Fit; Amazing Quality and Comfort
What an awesome, high-quality, comfortable shoe. I can't say I've been able to say that for the past decade or so -- it seems most shoes are only built to last about three months before they fall apart.I have enormous feet and - as I'm sure anyone reading this for that very reason understands - it is difficult to find stylish, comfortable shoes for everyday wear.If you have a large, wide food -- look no further. This shoe not only fit me perfectly out of the box, it was nearly 100% perfectly comfortable with minimal break-in (just under a week with minimal wear), and looks great to boot. The soles are thick enough to offer great support, but not thick and awkward enough that they look like clunky orthopedic clown shoes.This shoe looks great with slacks and would fit in a dressy or casual environment. I'll be picking up a spare set out of fear that they stop making them.PROS:•Great Fit for Wide Feet (4E)•Quality Construction•Comfortable for All-Day Wear / Walking•Doesn't Look Like a Boat on Your Foot (round-toe shoes in large sizes tend to look comical)CONS:•Stiff Heel for the First Week (I taped my heels under my socks to minimize blisters; heel seems to have broken in within 4 days)•Toe is Rounded (I prefer squared toes for style reasons, but this still looks nice)

Wonderful shoes
My hubby has a very wide foot and getting shoes is always a challenge. He needs a size 12 XX wide shoe and these are not easy to find. He didn’t want me to order these on line as he didn’t trust they would be any better than all the shoes he tried on recently. I went ahead and ordered them anyway (what can I say) and didn’t tell him. They arrived promptly and he wasn’t sure to be happy or not. He unboxed them and tried them on and walked around and turned to me with a big smile, they fit him perfectly. I was so relieved. He wore them immediately “ no breaking them in “ routine. He says they are the most comfortable shoes he was ever worn and he loves them. They are a very attractive shoe and the two tone colour makes them very versatile. A great purchase. Thank you.

Best shoes ever!
For casual footwear these shoes check every box I can imagine. They look nice, they fit well, they're quite possibly the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned, they appear to be constructed of a very fine material that should last quite a while if other reviews can be trusted. After wearing my first pair I reordered another pair after about two weeks. I may very well even buy another pair. I'm also going to do some research to if see if this company makes other types of shoes. Their company name would indicate they have been making shoes and boots since the 1800s. For what it's worth I am 78 years old and I have been fighting foot pain for years. I was able to wear these shoes out of the box without socks immediately with no foot pain whatsoever. They are a wonder!
