I chose these shoes because I need utility shoes for wet weather and these fit the bill; they are easy to get on and off, are more comfortable than most such shoes ("soft", good footbeds); my only complaint (and it is a common complaint of mine because I have 'low volume feet') is they are quite wide so I need to add insoles. I can wear them all day, too; uncommon for me to be able to do that. I wish they had half sizes though; 10 is too big (2 insoles) and 9 is a bit too short on right foot. Bought them too, and cut right big toe out and covered with hole with bicycle-tire-patch!
