I was in need of a pair of cute fashion sneakers and these shoes fit the bill. I'm 5'3 and not small by any stretch of the imagination so I needed something supportive as I am overweight. After reading the reviews, I decided to purchase these. If you feet are wide, these are not for you. I have slightly narrow feet so I fit into these comfortably for the most part. The tongue is attached to the shoe (as in one whole part) and I did find myself pulling it up throughout the day as it was digging into the top of my foot. I wouldn't run in these or exercise unless I am doing weights or something light. For the price, these shoes are great. The black color will ensure that they stay "looking clean" long after they are dirty. To be fair, I am use to wearing Asics and New Balance shoes so I suppose I should've taken the reviews about these that stated "very supportive" with a grain of salt. I know those brands have much more support but I didn't feel like spending Asics or New Balance money right now.
