I had resisted buying Reeboks because I am not crazy about faux leather but was pleasantly surprised by this shoe which I am using for errands and around the house as slippers. This is the 5th day and I am still feeling cramped in the toe area. However, the shoes are so supportive that I did not want to order a larger size. I have never experienced a shoe like this, so very firm in its structure. The other poster explained that it is the inner shell beneath the outer faux leather skin that provides this support. I have always preferred genuine leather shoes. I can now recognize that this construction may offer benefits to people who need great support in their feet and ankles, which is the case for me now as I have instability in my ankle due to an old fracture and arthritis. I cannot (yet) wrap my head around the fact that I am seeking to wear these shoes rather than any others even though they are still pinching my toes and feel so very firm and even hard around the perimeter of my feet. I just crave them. I am hoping that they soften up but I am not so sure that they will. I am still wondering if I should have sized a half size up.Good fit. Very comfortable and good price.Me gustan porque son muy cómodas, especialmente para mi madre.I bought a half size up from my usual size and these were still way too small. The length was fine and the width OK too, but the tongue rubbed up against my inner ankle and the top of the shoe cut tightly right above the ball of the foot. I also had thin socks on. Thick sole but not much in the way of arch support. Very disappointing and will be returning.I need a lightweight shoe with the velcro straps. This was so heavy (real leather, I guess is the problem) I struggled to get it on. I have a bad hip and I have trouble bending to tie my shoes. However, this was not the solution for me. I wish it were, the shoe is awesome!Got these for my grandmother and she adores it, they're very comfortable and easy for daily walking. She speaks of them so highly I might consider a pair for myself, but all in all I definitely recommend.The white sneakers with velcro fastening is wonderful for my daughter. She now can put on her shoes without struggling with the shoe laces. They feel very comfortable and hopefully the shoes will entice her to do more walking.The soul is great support and cushioning for the bottom of my heal and snug support around my heal and ankle. I love this shoe.
