text: I'm a RDH and have worn these and the previous 575's for decades for work. Uses Shoe Last SL2 which is my shape (actually is labeled DSL-2  on the insole)  When they aren't as good looking I progressively move them to walking shoes, then yard shoes.  Great wide width, roomy toes and support. I always buy the Velcro because it's so easy to adjust the fit at the instep without tightening the ankle as with laces, Loose for general wear and tighter on less stable ground. They wash great too. Just throw them in the washer and stuff toes with paper to maintain shape. The only thing I don't like is that the straps have been shorted over the years. The straps fit exactly over the attachment in the box, but when you put them on the strap doesn't fully cover the attachment piece which allows lint and grass to accumulate.
