The threads on the sides of the shoe are kind of visible which makes me think they are not great quality. As for the size, I am a size 8 usually and that's what I ordered and they fit fine on the width but it is a little snug on the length. I will keep you updated on how long they last.  So after using this product for once a week, for almost 9 months, inside a store (do note that this is not much wear compared to my KEDS which I wear everyday in rain) it already has multiple holes, such a waste of money. I suggest you invest in a good quality sneaker.
