text: I really did not like these shoes.<br /><br />From the moment I put them on they hurt my feet, and right out of the box they smelled like burned rubber for at least two weeks... so much so that my co-workers in my office kept commenting on the smell.<br /><br />After two months of wear the bottom rubber soles are wearing in different areas of each shoe, making my walking uneasy, and the inside bottom of the shoe started separating from the inner sole.<br /><br />On top of that the right shoe made holes in all of the new socks I wore with them after a month.<br /><br />Save yourself the heartache and spend a little more to get some good material shoes.  I ended up buying these and the all leather materials REALLY made the difference:<br /><br />Florsheim Men's Jet Cap Oxford,Black<br /><br />They even make those ones in wide sizes, too.
