This is a great shoe, I bought them over a year ago. They have held up over several washings (not sure if you should or not, I just don't put them in the dryer). I have two kids and I am always outside with them. I actually like them because they have a bit of style (my style), I have the burgandy ones, they look great with cords, jeans, and yoga pants. These can also be worn to work out, I wear them on my walks and jogs, and they are more comfortable then some of the heavy runners out there. I have a slightly wide foot, which is no problem. My brother has them in the mens, and he has a narrow foot, again, they fit him great!!
