big and floppy

That's different from other folks with "regular" feet. The bones below my toes are exceptionally wide and yet I have a very narrow heel so many shoes just don't fit me well at all. If I get the toe box area wide enough to accommodate my foot, then the heel area is too wide. I usually use those sticky pads in the heel area to make it snug on my heel. Otherwise I walk out of the shoe. This pair, because they go above my ankle, bypasses the too wide of a heel section. I put on a pair of medium socks (not too thin or too thick), loosened the laces and did have a tiny bit of trouble getting my entire foot in the shoe, but once I did, I laced the shoes up medium-tight and walked around. Usually with shoes I have an initial bit of discomfort - the tops or the soles are stiff or my big toe hits an odd spot inside the shoe or whatever. Not so with these shoes! Aside from listening to a bit of interesting creaking/squeaking from the tops of the shoes when I took a step, the toe box area seemed wider than average shoes and my foot felt very comfortable in the area with no squeezing or discomfort in any way. My heels did not seem to slip around inside the shoes at all, maybe because these shoes hold the ankle fairly still. The leather seems to be of high quality - it has that good smell of quality leather and while leather itself doesn't breathe, the ventilation holes on the top of the toe box and around the ankle area seem to be able to keep the foot cool. I wanted this pair because my left ankle often tries to give way on me due to an old injury. I had a tendon tear so badly several years ago that when it tore, it make a loud crack sound that made me believe I'd broken something. It took over 12 weeks just to be able to put weight on that foot again. Tendons never completely heal so when the weather changes or I do too much walking in flip-flops, that tendon starts giving way and is very painful. These shoes that go over the ankle should help keep the tendon from giving way and/or causing me discomfort. Nice pair of shoes that I will get a great deal of use out of!

I ordered these 206 Collective men's leather shoes for my son. He loves old school tennie's such as the Ked's we wore as kids. So glad they make them now for adults. The off-white leather and suede on these are wonderful! Gives the shoe a more dress-up look. And the insole wraps around the heel area which is very comfortable. I haven't given them to my son yet so I'm not sure how the fit will be on him. But these look and feel very well made. So hopefully I'll come back with an update once he tries these on. I hope he likes them..

I wish they came in a narrow width but these still fit very well for me

Freaking amazing shoes!
Reviewer Jill L Engelmann
I still have these shoes and wear them on the regular. I can't wear them when it's wet outside because water gets in, and I had to glue the bottoms onto the shoes as it was starting to come off at the heels. They are dirty, but still very wearable. I think it's time for a fresh pair though, I find myself wearing other shoes more and more as these get older and older. Well worth the purchase though!

Almost a year later and I still wear them. Usually the loops will break, but no issues yet. I did replace the laces, I wanted a different color (neon green). Fit as expected. I may buy another pair if I can get them at a good price.

These are quality shoes that fit my son perfectly and he has no trouble changing out the wheel....it took him no time to learn how to use them and now my daughters want some too
Reviewer greensimurgh
These were purchased for a gift. I was happy to receive them two days before the party. My niece loved them!
Reviewer baking dude
i wish these shoes were a little wider. they do run a bit narrow, but they are very well made with quality materials. i would definitely recommend them to a friend who has narrower feet.
Reviewer BobFox
2nd Pair of these I have purchased. Price is great and they are very comfortable. I am very picky about my shoes, but I plan on purchasing these for the foreseeable future.
