I really like them now, but the shoes weren't very comfortable at first till I did a little surgery on them. The insides of the shoes by the arches were hurting my feet, so I took a pair of scissors and I cut out the inner shoe footliner where the arches are. Then I inserted thin airsole cushions cut to the shoe size and I inserted those in the shoes and tried that on for size. Works perfect for me. If later I buy another pair of hush puppies, I'll know exactly what to do so I can have a great fitting pair of shoes. I should explain that I have always had a hard time finding the right shoes to fit my feet.. Some shoes I have to send back for a refund. Now I found some good shoes that I can wear as long as I doctor them up first. Also I'm 70 years old so maybe I won't be needing more new shoes for too much longer.  True review, Guitar Bob
