“First off, these shoes are comfortable. They provide good arch support and make my foot feel secure in the shoe (no sliding around). They are a hair wider than your average shoe. Biggest drawback is that they are loud. It appears to be the leather tongue rubbing against the side lip of the shoe. Don’t think you’ll be sneaking up on anyone with these. Not sure how to remedy it but it’s been making noise since I took them out of the box and I’ve worn them about 20 times.”
