text: Keep in mind as you read this info, I have very specific foot issues which are not common.  I have to wear shoes that are low heeled, well cushioned inside, open toed, enclosed heel, indoor/outdoor sole and adjustable width...whew!  I know, that's a big list of must haves but it's my shoe life :(<br />Needless to say, it's not easy to find shoes that fit this criteria.  I sort of stumbled upon these online and was really happy to try them!<br />These are actually a very good quality shoe put together with high quality components such as the vulcanized rubber sole, very well cushioned insole, high quality fabric inside and outside the shoe and well constructed velcro straps..<br /><br />The ONLY issue with these that I need to warn you about is the sizing... here's why -<br />I'm a pretty standard 8 1/2 BUT I almost always put an insole in all the shoes I buy AND I need a bit of extra room in the toe box so they don't rub against the sides of my feet.<br />For that reason, I always buy a 1/2 size up to a 9 and for most of my shoes this works great.<br />This particular shoe runs on the small side - based on what normally works for me, this size 9 fits just like an 8 1/2<br />Thankfully, the insole is really well padded with good arch support so I don't need to use an insole but if I did, these would not work<br />If you get them on the big side, the adjustable velcro will help keep them from slipping around.<br /><br />These were shipped from the UK so it took them a while to get here so I'm glad I didn't have to send these back because of sizing!  I get pretty spoiled with being a Prime member and getting my items quickly so having to wait is not fun :(<br /><br />I sure hope this helps you in deciding about these shoes!  I know personally I rely heavily on customer reviews to get info beyond what the product description gives you :)
