I like casual shoes and seen people wear these OTZ shoes over the years and decided to finally give them a try. I wear TOMS a lot and these OTZ shoes were a bit cheaper to buy compared to TOMS. Love these OTZ shoes. Easy to get on and has a removable cork insole. Shoes are machine washable....as long as you remove the cork insoles before washing these shoes. Pretty comfy to wear for many hours and I can wear them very easily all day long with no problems. I think these OTZ shoes are make with canvas...lightweight canvas because I have a small hole in the toe already, but I cannot see my toes yet.....also my big toe is gonna poke thru eventually. But I have that issue with TOMS also. They are flats and have a thin rubber-like sole. I really love these sneakers.....not too expensive, nice looking, basic looking, comfortable to wear and seems better built than TOMS. I got several pairs in different colors. My OTZ shoes fit me as expected. If you wear socks with these shoes, you may want to order 1 size up. These shoes do not come in half sizes.....only full sizes. 5 star rating I give these shoes!
