I'm hard on shoes.  And I have a "shallow" foot, meaning many shoes, by the time I have laced them tight, the grommets have come together.  These fit very well, and hold up quite well.  I am 61, 205lbs, and am constantly working in them (2 story, 40 unit motel, 13 rentals, self storage facility and more.  These fit well, hold up well.
