text: These shoes are quite comfy and look fine. However, what I do not see a lot of people talking about is: the soles are quite thin. Not narrow; the width is great. I mean thin. Kind of like slipper soles. When I step on a piece of gravel it jabs me clearly and I was afraid it would pierce the sole! When I step on those metal yellow traction bumps on sidewalk ramps I can feel them distinctly like if I was wearing wool socks. Anyway, the fit was very good; they fit like a glove.<br /><br />Final edit, they lasted me about 8 months before the soles were worn to the point of letting water seep through. I did not see any paperwork about &#34;lasting 1000 miles&#34; and I have to cut them a little slack since I'm a big guy. But I'd be surprised if I walked 250 miles in 'em.
