Best shoe purchased for support.
My husband wears a size 14 shoe, but he's feet get very swollen from lymphedema . So we bought size 15 & I was happy to see they had 2XX wide. That worked! The shoe is big enough for his swollen feet. The only issue is the back of the shoe. Its a bit difficult to get the back of the foot in. Shoe horn doesn't help, so I assist with widening the ankle support with my hands to get the foot in. Great walking shoe! Comfortable and supportive.

These are such god quality and thank God there is an orthotic sandal.
I've been ordering and using them for years and I wear a prostheitic leg which shifts a lot of wear to the natural foot. That is the only reason that I have to order them. I get uneven wear on the outside heal of the natural foot, but everything else wears normally.

Fraying straps fixed
These shoes fit my husbands swollen diabetic feet, are very comfortable and looked good too. There was only one problem.........the soft Velcro on the straps start to fray out from under the stitching due to the friction when moving the straps thru the plastic opening. This is happening because the Velcro does not have a finished factory edge on it. Since my husband loves these shoes it was up to me, a seamstress for many years, to come up with a solution. I decided to use a product called " Fray Block " that I got at a local fabric store. Following the directions on the tube I carefully applied the liquid on top of the soft Velcro where the stitching attaches it to the leather strap. I also very carefully applied it to the edge of the strap around to the edges of the velcro including the rubber tip area as well. I even applied it to the stitching of the "rough" velcro as well just make sure tbat the stitching would stay firmly attached. I made sure not get it on the leather even tho this product dries clear, remains flexible and you can't even see where I had applied the liquid. I let the shoes dry overnight before he wore them. He has been wearing them for over a month and there is no more signs of fraying and the "Fray Block" doesn't seem to be affecting the connection between the two pieces of velcro. Applying it when you first get the shoes before they can fray is very helpful. Great shoes!!! Happy Husband!!!!!

Worth getting the correct size, very high instep.
It took three tries but finally found right size. Order a whole size larger including width because they run small!. I like these shoes because I have a very high instep and arch and most shoes really squeeze my feet. I wore "comfort" shoes for years but never was satisfied when I needed an all day walking shoe. These are like sneakers but better looking for those short trail hikes or casual dress. The shoe comes with an extra layer insole that can be left in for extra comfort or removed to accommodate a more robust arch/heal support like I have. Lastly, I have grown to really like the velcro! Much more convenient than laces and I can get in and out of the shoes really fast. They are easy to loosen if my feet feel cramped. Great for airports or visiting friends with a no shoe home rule. They are definitely on the softer side and not really leather like.

Good Looks, but Poor Quality and Design
The shoes were roomy as expected from a 5E width. They were lightweight and very flexible, especially for a partial leather (suede) and waterproof shoe. Unfortunately, the production quality and design were faulty. Regarding the lack of quality, the sewing of the Velcro to the straps was very sloppy. There were many loose threads and missed stiches. More importantly, the Velcro was already separated from the corner of one of the straps. Second, there was too much fabric used on the top of one of the tongues. This forced the tongue to bunch up and to look very sloppy. Regarding the design, there is nothing to hold the tongues in place, and they do not stay in place on their own. They slid to the sides after taking only a few steps. Given the lack of decent looking wide shoes generally available, it's a shame that these shoes turned out to be unwearable.

Not a sucure fitting active wear shoe
Mediocre. I sent these back. They fit way too loose and can not be secured with the Velcro straps. I think they are designed more as a loose fitting slip on than a secure hiking walking shoe. I like, and have a few pairs of Propet shoes, but these did not work out for me.

This shoe is very comfortable, extremely light and lots of toe room. Diabetic Friendly
I bought these shoes for an extremely picky husband. Originally, I ordered a XX width but they were too wide. Happily, Amazon was kind enough to exchange them for a X width. My picky husband loves these shoes. They look sporty and are extremely comfortable. They are lightweight and so sporty that you don't even notice the velcro closure. They do not scream old man shoes. I would definitely recommend these to anyone but especially someone who is picky about their shoes.
