I don't write many reviews but this time I just have to. First of all, the seller SHOE PARLOR is very friendly, honest and ships fast. Also, he responded very quickly to my emails since I had a few questions about these shoes. I will definitely purchase from them again.

I just had surgery on both feet (I will forgo the details) and I'll have to wear only comfortable, orthotic-friendly shoes for quite a while. So I had to find a light, wide and sturdy shoe.

I was lucky to find these and I owe it to all the Amazon reviews.
Indeed, as soon as I got them I put my orthotics in, and hopped on. WOW! I like to wear my walking shoes without socks, so I dared to do it now too. I walked for three miles to test-drive them, (with another rescue old pair in my bag) and to my amazement, I walked without chaffing or without getting any blisters. This never happened to me before with any shoes.

Very important also: if you are always in a hurry like me and jump in the shoes without undoing the laces, use a shoehorn to avoid crushing the backs. It's a bit tedious but those few seconds will save your shoe and your foot, it's worth it.
Also, if need to wear orthotics, get a 1/2 size larger, (size 8.5 instead of 8 and so on).

If you are heavier, need orthotics and walk a lot, consider these shoes. I bought a few pairs so I won't be left without when the designing gods change them on us and we can't find them anymore.

Every so often, we find a nicer friendlier walking/hiking shoe, comfortable, pleasant looking and reasonably priced, which is rare these days when everything is loud, pricey and not so comfortable.

Definitely 5 stars!
