text: The shoe seems sized big.  I usually wear an 8.5 in a wide, but ordered a 9, so I could wear thicker socks in the cold weather.  These shoes were way too big even with thicker socks on, too wide and too long.  But oversizing wasn't the only problem.  The top part of the shoe is unlined.  There's only a thin piece of leather at the top, which it seems, could start to cut into the upper foot with a lot of walking.  The top of the shoe was limp and just laid on the top of the foot.  I also did not like the rigid sole.  The shoe did not give at all with a step, and it seemed more like rocking than walking.  A poor choice overall.
