text: These shoes are well made, although they are a bit narrow.  But I decided to keep them as it is hard to find leather shoes that do not cost an arm and a leg, and being leather, they have already stretched a bit, as predicted. They have good arch support.  I would like to have these shoes in another pattern, but the only other pattern available was black with white polka dots.  No thanks.  But a solid black or deep brown would be nice.  I would buy another pair.
