Walking shoes

Very comfortable and my feet fit perfect. I like a shoe that I feel stable in. I am a heavy guy and love the support from these shoes. Specifically got them for there support in the heel and arches."

Surprisingly Good Fit

I was very surprised by the quality of the shoes. The snug heel design makes walking feel so much better. The shoes are sturdy, rather heavier than most walking shoes, and solidly built. The curved lacing system is unusual, but it makes sense. I am happy with my CHICANEs."
