text: this pair is non-typical, this color is not leather and the hardware to adjust the width requires something besides your hand to fix into place (a house key, butter knife, something rigid, etc). since it's not leather there isn't an easy break in period. I can wear my leather dr scholls anywhere for miles but this pair I have to keep more as a 'desk' shoe...to the printer & back but not for the mile to the lunch restaurant.
