I ordered these because I wanted a "slide in" alternative athletic shoe to wear with shorts this summer. because I often get on a train I didn't want open toed shoes on the train because folks roll over your feet with rolling cases or step on your feet.
Style: They don't make your feet appear to wide.  To personalize these shoes, they come with 2 sets of laces (taupe color and white). These shoes must weight a mere few ounces - you could actually hang these off of your back pack while hiking and use these in camp to relieve your feet of hiking boots they are that lightweight. The sole is a tone of taupe to match the shoe - so these don't appear too much like an athletic shoe.  Note well: the taupe is a "cool" tan not like a warm khaki or tan in the shorts I have. It has gray tones to it.
Fit:  heel cup is comfortable - these are easy to slide into and out of. Comfortable without socks - no blisters either.
So why the 4 stars? these actually make a poofing sound when you are walking sometimes.
