Hi, i give it 4 stars only because i wish it had some arch support. My son has big!! Flat feet. However there are tiny bumps on the insole through-out the shoe. He likes it! Also, the sole has cushion with each step. My sons' is a sz. 12 1/2. and sz. 13 was perfect with 1/2 inch space. This enables his feet room for movement... and hopefully not room to grow.... smile. He has extreme pain from his flat feet but, is comfortable for long periods in this shoe. I live in Trinidad & Tobago. and we got it in time for our Carnival Celebrations. We walked the streets for hours and he had minor discomfort. It looked really huge in hand... but, on his feet not so big. He is a slim 28" waist and 5' 8". He has a Croc Slipper that sz 13 looks bigger. I think its' because its' open style.
