First off: do not listen to people telling you  to buy a size larger.  I did and they were enormous - gunboat sized.  Gigantic Clown Shoe Large.

So I bought the size I normally buy and even these are running a bit large.  I hope they don't stretch much, and I will probably have to buy some sort of inner sole to take up the slop.

They are very comfortable, but the angle of the heel tends to push your toes to the front.  The soles are great, and the wrap of the sole up the sides is welcome for outside excursions to the mailbox.  The materials look to be durable, but I do wish the leather laces were just a good shoelace.

Overall a good buy, just be aware that the sizing was done by Large Marge.

Addendum:  These do stretch as they age, and the leather laces do not work; they will break the first time you have to tie them.
I still stand that they are comfy, and I hope if they get wet they might shrink...
