I bought these shoes for their non-slip sole and their fashionable looks. They are a true to size fit, and are a nice looking shoe. The velcro on them doesn't allow me to tighten them too much- I like a snug fit. I could live with that however, the heel lacks sufficient cushion. After being on my feet for 6-8 hours on the job my feet ache. As much as I like their looks I'm going to try another brand.
