I would have hung on to this shoe if it hadn't been bigger. I purchased it because it was supposed to be a 'b' width shoe but that wasn't the case at all. Still, not a bad looking shoe and probably fine for a person with an average width foot.The insole is made of foam covered material. The material started coming off after about 2 days. I pulled it all off then bought new inserts. Other than that I wear them almost all the time.The shoe is too small. Much narrower than a normal width (opinion).Appearance of shoe is nice.Unfortunately, I am having to return the shoes.Thanks for allowing me to share my opinion.Mark A BrownNashville, TNVery durable and so far my husband has liked them. Wore them on the rocks in the river when he first purchased them. That was what he got them for. Has since worn them for other things. Look nice also.When I received the shoe...I loved it...and wore the shoes around the house for a few days to get used to them. It was a great fit and hugged my foot comfortably. It seemed like a well made sturdy shoes as other people mentioned. I really like the look of them. Yes, I am a female and need a wide width shoe, and normally wear size 8 in woman's and purchased the 40 (there's some room to wiggle my toes, but still very comfortable).But then I finally wore them outside to the beach and the shoes literally fell apart within minutes! The sleeves that hold the shoe strings tore off of the shoes in a couple different places. I hadn't even done anything aggressive except walked a few minutes in the sand. I'm super bummed because I had looked for a while to find these shoes that I thought were perfect. Hopefully customer service will contact me to replace them.They definitely run small! Go up a size from Amazon’s size chart. Unfortunately the size/color combo I want isn’t available. I really liked the shoes but wish they were true to size.I wish the insert was thicker , so far wear it in a high temperature weather, and got it fully wet few times and still good.They are good shoes. The only problem is they rub the back of my husbands heel. He has to place band aids to stop the rubbing.
