I have had these sneakers for about a year. I bought them before going on a cruise. (Most of the time I wear cowboy boots, but they don’t look good with shorts!) I had some low top sneakers, but I wanted some high tops for better ankle support. That meant looking at basketball shoes even though I don’t play basketball. I prefer trying shoes on before I buy them, but I could not find anything I liked locally, so I took a chance ordering these, and they fit perfectly. These shoes have great ankle and arch support and are very comfortable for me. I like how they look, too. Most sneakers today are too flashy for my liking, and some are just butt ugly, but these are just right. When I’m not at work, I’ve been wearing these more and more because they’re so comfortable.
