I tried them on and they fit snugly, so until I break them in, I wear them only for short times until the leather stretches to form to my feet.I have had severe RA for years. My son has had the same pair for over a year and now and after breaking in, enjoys wearing them for long periods comfortably. I have high arches and appreciate the built-in structured arch support. The craftsmanship is quite good and I expect to wear them a long time. Until they fully are broken in, I rate them a 4-star for now, expecting to end up a 5.
