I tried these shoes and returned them almost immediately. I went for a walk with my husband around just one block in our neighborhood, and my feet were in unbearable pain. I have feet that are only slightly wider than average, and I always by normal width shoes. These squeezed and pinched my feet in all the wrong places, causing me to walk funny and cramp up. They were also uglier (in my opinion) in person than in the photos.<br /><br />On the plus side for these, they seem decently made. If your feet are the right shape for them, maybe they're not so bad. Still, I've never had pain like that from a sneaker, ever in my life.
