They required a bit of stretching out when I first got them. They were a bit tight in the middle of the shoe. They look great while wearing! I've gotten compliments from strangers while wearing these! However, if you are someone who absolutely does not like their socks to show, either don't buy the shoe or don't wear socks.

I've been wearing them on and off, so I cannot attest to the durability of these shoes in hard-working environments.

They have decent arch support, which I love, as I have flat feet.

They are comfortable for walking in all day, which is another thing I love, as I am someone who suffers from blistering feet. I have to be careful about what I put on my feet because I easily blister.

Overall, this is a very nice canvas shoe in comparison to Converse. I cannot wear Converse as they provide absolutely no arch support and are uncomfortably narrow. I do not have wide feet, but my feet are slightly wider than Converse allow for. I would 10/10 buy these shoes again in different colors.
