These aren't the most stylish shoes in the universe, but unlike other orthopedic walking shoes, they at least look like normal shoes, not mall walk style. Super light sole, but with a rubber insert to help traction, which I thought was clever. Lots of room in the toe box - usually I need extra width so my toes don't feel cramped, so I got the 11.5 EEE; I probably should have gone with a D. By putting my regular insole on top of the one provided instead of replacing, they fit fine with plenty of adjustment available by tightening the laces. The leather on these is supple and soft without the plastic feel of some lower end products. These are lined and padded like sneakers for added comfort. I'll revisit this review once I've worn them a few months, but so far so good.
