These shoes are a little on the cheap side. If you are needing something to get you by they would work in a pinch. They are not too comfortable the way they cut into the toes and side of foot. If you are willing to spend just slightly more money then go for the higher quality of another brand. Shipping was right on time and packaging was appropriate. Return took a little longer than normal, but without incident as Amazon is so accomodating as usual.
