Wonderful shoes, great support for collapsed arches like mine, genuine product, speedy delivery. Have worn these shoes for years and they never disappoint. Before I became disabled, I wore the lace-up version.Since I am now disabled, the Velcro closure is a godsend. Recommend highly.This is for my sweet 100-year-old mother who lives in another state in a nursing home. She has the same pair in taupe, so I was thrilled to be able to find these. They are perfect for older people because of the velcro strap.The quality and fit were perfect, and they were delivered in one day.I like themVery happy with my new Soft Spots with the Velcro closings. At my age bending over to tie shoes was getting a little too much and finding my favorite shoes for decades, with Velcro closings and fit and feel the same is a blessing.This is the only place I've found this shoe, the most comfortable for my sore senior feet. The stitching on the tongue of the left shoe was a little less than smooth, but not a problem...doesn't seem to rub my foot. Wish they were available in other colors.I have liked and worn this brand for years and will continue to do so.I buy this shoe or its close cousins as a work shoe. The width fits a little narrow, so go up one width. The length is fine. They are comfortable and the tops wear well, especially if you give them a little care. The soles are inferior product and you will end up repairing them with Gorilla glue within a couple months, and likely a couple more time before the shoe reaches the end of its life (1 - 1 1/2 years of steadh wear for me.)
