What customers say:
The shoes are generally described as comfortable, with a sturdy sole that provides good traction. However, some customers felt the shoes lacked sufficient padding in the footbed for extended wear. While most customers were satisfied with the quality and construction, a few were disappointed with the fit and comfort level, finding the toe box too narrow or the opening around the ankle too wide. With the right fit, the shoes are reported to be comfortable and practical for everyday wear.

Run large
Size Purchased: 10
They seem like decent, well made shoes however, they were way too big for a size 10. I would have exchanged for a 9-1/2 but they do not come in half sizes.
