Ordered these for my girlfriend, this is her review:I ordered these shoes for work. My work is kind-of hard to describe. I will just say: I walk a lot...in rain, snow, sleet; I climb ladders, I can be walking around in standing water--any of this--I can be doing all of it for MANY hours.THESE SHOES ARE AWESOME. They're ugly, but they're awesome.To call them awesome, despite how very unattractive they are, one needs experience in the elements I've dealt with, I suppose...with the wrong shoes.So, they're chick shoes...right? When I received them, they had pink flowers in the soles and sparkly black laces. Beyond the size, that's the only indication I have that these are 'lady' shoes. They're ugly. There are no longer pink flowers in the soles, the sparkly laces remain, but their looks are not their purpose. These are work shoes.I can wear them all day without thinking about them...which is the mark of a good working shoe. I cannot recollect slipping in them; yes I do mean in rain, snow, sleet, dust, oil, grease, wet grass, all of thee above. Again I say; THEY ARE UGLY...and again, after working in them for so long, I have to ask: please sir, can I have some more? Other colors, other materials, other ankle heights...can you make me these in a steel or otherwise OSHA approved toe? I NEED ALL OF IT. Amazing shoe for the 'working WOman.'So now you're wondering...FIT:Length-I wear 9.5 typically. These fit perfect. -15F? Thick socks? Fine. 93F? Thinner socks...(or maybe not?)...Fine. Adjust the laces if necessary, folks.Heel-Feels good to me. I have what most would describe as a small/thin heel.Box-Again, feels good to me. I have what most would describe as a broad 'below-toe/box' measurement.Arch-Perfect for me. I have moderate-to-high arches and my feet really still feel great after days, and days, and DAYS in these awesome shoes.Bottom line-I always feel that adjusting the laces can give me a better/proper fit in these shoes should conditions or my preferences change.I'd say the absolutely worst thing about the shoes is their complete-and-utter-ugliness, coupled with stinkiness. I leave this to the end because I understand that personal foot 'stank' can vary. I don't have any other shoes that stink like these, *BUT* I also don't spend so much time working hard in other shoes.Have to work? Don't care about how *pretty* your shoes are? These shoes are AMAZING!
