I wear these shoes every day. They are my house shoes. They fit fine, have held up very well, and are actually comfortable enough to wear all day every day.

Yes, they did squeek for a few days, but a few trips out to the mailbox fixed that. I suggest scuffing them on concrete just a bit. Oddly enough, using them breaks them in, just like shoes. Mine are no longer slippery.

The footbeds are shallow but enough for casual walking. These are not athletic shoes or even work shoes. They are really more for loafing. I do a lot of loafing. If you are wearing these for walking all day every day at work, like a nurse, then you should know better. Shame on you!

Mine did not split at the seams, wear out in days, or any such nonsense. They are growing only more comfortable with time. They have real leather that will adjust to your foot, so again, just like real shoes.

I suggest buying a pair that actually fits the size of your feet and not trying to force your feet into the wrong size. These do not lace up like athletic shoes, so measure accurately. If you happen to have extra big round feet, maybe try a style of shoe that is NOT intended to be snug around the top of your foot.

After months of constant use, these shoes clearly show the shape of my foot, but no signs of stress. I have clumsily crushed my foot into them enough that the back edge is a bit bent, but that is my fault for not caring enough to use a shoe horn. Once my foot is in there, even that is not noticeable. And really, if you are looking that close at the back of my shoes, what's wrong with you?

I'll never know how these shoes were back in the day, but I know what is on my feet right now. These are simply good loafers. I'm told they look a bit too nice to be wearing around the house, but that just aint going to stop me. I wear them with everything and anything. Women compliment them and men make no complaints. That's more than I ask of an inexpensive shoe.
