Great alternative to New Balance 515s
I bought these as an alternative to my New Balance 515 (I love those, but the price went up a bit too high for me & I didn't like the new color options either). I'm so glad I gave these a try! I wear them almost everywhere, and with almost everything. They are comfortable with a really roomy toe box, which is exactly what I've been on the hunt for! I have bunions, and it's been difficult to find shoes (besides my NB 515s) to accommodate the issue, that are not old-office-lady style. These are fashionable and comfortable. I will say that they are large all-over though, so I had to get thick inserts to make them fit snug enough around the mid-foot. So, if you have swollen feet, these will be great for you as-is. If your feet are a regular width, but you just need the extra width up front for your toes and bunion, then you'll need an insert to tighten up the fit. They are heavier than most shoes but they are fashion sneakers, not actually for running or anything like that, so the weight doesn't bother me. I've had them for at least a month now, and wear them most days. They are holding up well. You'd never know they were half the price of my NBs.

Cute shoes
They were a bit long for me, but I wore them with thicker socks all over Spain for 2 weeks and never had any problems. They’re really cute, very comfortable. Great for the price.

Great shoes!
The room in the toes is great! They look very stylish, and I received several compliments the first time I wore them. They are relatively comfortable, but they feel just a little bit cheap. The cushion in the sole isn't great so I can feel the asphalt when walking outside, and the back rises high up the ankle leaving blisters if you don't wear tall socks. Overall though, this is a great inexpensive shoe for those of us needing room for our toes!

Look and feel good!!
They are great shoes. Fit well. Wide toe box.They are very light in color (weight too). I really wish they had some darker colors also.They look nice on and feel good. I’ve tried so many and had to send them back. Not these.

So happy to have found these!
These have got to be the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned! There is plenty of room in the toe box for my super wide feet and no rubbing on my bunions. Plus the arch support helps with my flat feet. I’m typically a 9 x-wide and the 9 wide fit well. I may have been able to size down to an 8.5 but don’t mind having a little extra room at the front.

Not true to size!
I wear a 9, sometimes even a 9 1/2 depending on brand. These have an inch and a half before my toe gets anywhere near the tip. But wow, they really are comfortable!!!Going to try and size down in hopes that they work! I don’t have wide feet per se, but they are defiantly roomy. Trying to get away from pointy shoes that squish my toes.

Runs large
These are really roomy. I ordered an 8.5 wide even though I usually wear a 9 wide. They're wider than other wide shoes I've tried before. They're good shoes and they don't look cheap. But I probably needed a smaller size.
