Pretty disappointing pair of shoes. I needed a 'wide fit' which these are and at first they were pretty easy to get on and off again. But after just the second time of wearing them, one of the lace eyelets came out of its hole. I know I should have returned them then, but couldn't be bothered as the shop is on the outskirts of town and 3 miles or so from me. I persevered with them, but then a small hole wore on the inner lining and little bits of what resemble grains of rice kept being inside the shoes each time I took them off (some kind of filling in the manufacture). After about a month of wearing them, the back of the shoes crumpled down (no stiffness in them) every time I put them on and I would end up having to stick my finger down between my sock and the shoe to try and pull the rear of the shoe back over my heel to the height they should really stay at, on or off. Still you get what you pay for I suppose (£16). Better to spend maybe upwards of £25 and get a decent pair of shoes.
