Granted, I bought a 12 Wide, but oh man, are they wide! When I put one on my largest foot, the shoe was pretty loose. I hate to say it, but I didn't even bother lacing them up to my tastes. The shoe itself is very light and IMO flimsy. I wore Keds and Converse sneakers as a kid. I know I love my Convernse, and they're as they should be, but I don't remember Keds being so delicate-feeling. Guess I'll stick with my similar-looking Doc Martens; at least they have substance.
