- Are these shoes good for people who can't tie laces?
- Yes. The hook-and-loop strap replaces laces entirely, so you pull the shoe on and press the strap closed. That suits anyone with arthritis, limited hand strength or trouble bending over.
- Do they run true to size?
- They generally fit true to length, and the narrow, normal and wide width options let you adjust volume. If you wear thick socks or have a high instep, consider the wide width.
- Are they actually waterproof?
- The leather upper and waterproof construction keep out rain and puddles better than mesh walking shoes. They are not designed for standing in deep water or full submersion.
- How do they compare with New Balance's mesh walking shoes?
- The leather version is warmer, heavier and more weather-resistant. Mesh models breathe better and weigh less but let water in quickly.
- What is the high shaft on these shoes?
- The high shaft means the upper rises higher around the ankle than a low-cut shoe, giving more coverage and support at the collar.
- Can I wear them for all-day standing?
- Yes. The foam midsole, forefoot cushioning and polyurethane insole give enough support for long shifts on hard floors, though the weight may tire some wearers.
