text: This is one weird-looking and -fitting shoe. The upper materials are reeeeally cheap. That overlay on the instep that looks like suede? It's some kind of foam, like the kind you can get at a craft store. And the mesh has no structure whatsoever. This shoe is also super-wide. So wide that my normally D-width was swimming in the Wide size. Even when I exchanged for a Medium width, I have to cinch the laces tightly. While the shoe itself does have some arch support, the insole is of no use whatsoever; but once I replaced it with an orthotic it works much better. I do like the color (fuchsia), and since I bought it on sale and only want them for kicking around, it's fine. I was looking for something supportive to replace my similarly-colored Roos, and these will work. Don't expect much from this shoe. It's a decent, supportive base, with a cheap upper, but it looks cute enough. If I squint. Not as cute as my Roos, though.
