i received and wore these shoes for about 8 times in my daily 3 mile walk.  the lunges were challenging because i was thrown off balance but still managed.  they are comfortable, i bought an 8.5 wide which fit perfectly, width is an EE.  at my last wear i noticed one of the eyelets came loose.  my contact to the seller resulted in a request for photos of the shoe followed by a request to return.  no mention was made of the cost of shipment but i had seen the price reduction on the website and requested the difference to be credited. they obliged.  at this point the return has been received buti'm unsure if i am getting a replacement.  communication is not very thorough.
