Great shoes. The classic Adidas look. Comfortable. Lightweight. Breathable. I get compliments on them every time I wear them (except from my son ... who calls them my "clown shoes" (I go this pair in red)). This, btw, is my second pair of Adidas Original Dragons. And I may buy more pairs, to have other colors to match/contrast with whatever I'm wearing. Great shoes at a reasonable price. Very happy with my purchase. As for construction, size, etc ... my older Dragons (in blue) have held up extremely well over the last 9 months or so. I wear them often -- at least one or two days a week, and they still look brandnew (except for the heel area, which always gets dirty from driving, where it rubs on my floormat). I normally wear a size 10, and I ordered a 10 and these fit terrific. I wouldn't complain if they were slightly wider, but they really don't need to be.
