I love my Vibrams, but their outlandish appearance isn't for everyone. For more casual wear, I like these Tai Chi sneakers. They have an amazing ground feel. The sole appears to be narrow from pictures, but I have a wider foot (not sure what size though) and I don't notice my feet feeling squashed.

The leather upper is soft and supple. I notice that after wearing them virtually every day for three months (and driving almost every day), the leather is wearing away where the heel meets the sole at the bottom. Either I have very abrasive floor mats, or the leather coloring is not very durable. The white isn't hard to clean; a wipe down with a damp cloth will remove most dirt.

When I first got the shoes, I didn't adjust the lacing. I noticed the top of my feet at the base of my toes was getting rubbed uncomfortably, so I really loosened up the lacing down towards the toe box and that alleviated my issue.

As for sizing, I'm a 14 in Chuck Taylors (my go-to, every day shoe), and I found the 13s to be a perfect fit.
