These are classic soccer shoes, very comfortable and supportive. However, unlike newer styles which are built for speed, these shoes are built for comfort and support, and are nicely padded in the toe area. The downside is that they are somewhat heavier than more modern soccer shoe designs.

As for sizing, I usually were a size 11.5 men's sneaker, but had to get these in a size 12, since they run a little tight (I know you've probably read comments to the contrary, stating that these shoes run large, so there may be a production/sizing issue here).

The good news is that the material (which is kangaroo, I believe) tends to relax and stretch a little with use, giving a more natural fit.

Pros: comfortable; supportive; look good; well padded toe area; good cushioning; material stretches and relaxes over time.

Cons: heavier than modern soccer shoes; sizing may be hit or miss.

Conclusion: Highly Recommend (but make sure you get the right size).
