Purchased this shoe at Sports Academy.  Reviews I read said shoes ran small so figured better to try on before ordering.  I wear a 10 D and had to go to a 10 4EE before I got a pair comfortable enought to walk in.  They appear to be well made.  I needed the velcro fasteners because I have trouble bending over and hate tying shoes.  You will never sneak up on anyone wearing these things as they do "squeak" quite a bit.  The cat heard me coming as I entered the room.  Walking in them creates a strange sensation; feels like standing on asphalt, but my feet don't hurt.  I'll probably pitch the inserts that came with the shoe and go to an orthopeadic insert that will likely offer more comfort.  Despite the rough feel on the bottoms of my feet, my feet do not hurt at all when I take them off after several hours.  All in all, I'd probably buy them again or at least get another pair in a darker color.
