I love these shoes, however, they break easily.  Even though they come with a 1-year warranty, Amazon.com does not honor that warranty.  The manufacture, Hi-Tec Footwear, does not honor the warranty either if you purchased the shoes from somewhere other than their own website.  So buyer beware.  This was the second pair I purchased and they both broke in exactly the same spot...the little plastic piece on the side snapped after only wearing them a few times. They are not tight or anything either.  Unfortunately, will not purchase these again even though they are super comfy :(
