These are very solidly constructed of very good materials. Unfortunately, there's a size problem, as others have said. If you size down as some sites advise, you will still not have a good fit unless you happen to have a tiny front foot and toes. The width is indeed a bit loose, but would be tolerable with overall conformity to the foot. After wearing Keen, Birkenstock, and other brands that allow proper spread and foot function, these just don't work. I thought Dr. Martens tended to be overall more foot-friendly. These are nice looking, but need restyling to suit real feet.
