They seem to be well made shoes that should last a long time, which is why I purchased them. However, I did order the wide version of the shoe, thinking that it would not be a problem. However, they are tight in the toes, which is not expected from a wide shoe. The shoes have very little support/ cushion in the arch or heel. also, read in pervious reviews that they are a 1/2 size too small and ordered accordingly.
