I've wanted to step away from my usual converse chucks that I've been buying for 25 yrs plus. These shoes are sturdy and comfy without the bulk of other mid to high tops. They look snazzy too. I have a bit of a wide foot (not too wide) so when I got these, they felt a bit tight. I thought I was going to be disappointed. But after 3 days break in, they fit so nice. Not tight at all. Not loose either. The length was as expected, no issues with too large or too small. I've had them for a month and a half and they are still good to go. No sole wear issue. No peeling. Just be careful with creases when you squat or kneel as they are not leather and will crease through. I'll be buying another pair soon in a different color when they come back on Amazon.
