I just purchased these shoes so I can't speak to the longevity of these shoes, but here's my quick thoughts on what I do know about them so far:1) I wear men's size 10 in most shoes, and a lot of the reviews said get a half size bigger to get a proper fit. Since they didn't have half sizes at the time of purchase, I got an 11. They were way too big. I ended up exchanging for the 10s, which fit perfectly. In my opinion get your normal size.2) Width wise they fit me just fine as I would describe myself as having a "normal" width foot.3) They look great! It was hard to find a good fashion sneaker that had gum colored soles and still looked decent on the outside. I've owned a lot of Adidas shoes, but recently just haven't liked many of their designs. These were great and definitely will look to buy again in the future.4) One of the things that always worries me about shoes with a rubber flap on the front is that it's a separate piece from the actual sole of the shoe. This looks like one solid piece (or at least they did a good job making it look like one piece) so I really appreciated that quality.5) Since their suede, I'd suggest spraying them with a protective coat to help repel dirt and water. Mine in the picture is post-spraying, which didn't make the shoe much darker.6) The only con to these shoes is the padding on the inside and can tell after wearing for a couple of days my feet feel tired by end of the day. I'll definitely be buying a separate insert for these.In my opinion, I'd buy them again, so I'd give them a try!
