In a tennis shoe I typically wear a normal width- in heels or flats a wide width is preferable but rarely attainable. He had to walk about 20 feet on wet ground and there were no slip and slide issues outside or inside. I bought these in April, by August they’d gone into the bin after falling apart. no problems! Has some dirt in the mesh and some fade from the sun but doesnt matter it keeps on going. Very stylish and very well made. I dont really like to invest in expensive headphones because I tend to lose or break them frequently. While I wouldn’t recommend this shape for palm or fingertip, the shape is amazing for claw and due to the wide hump, narrow front, and medium length, it’s able to work in many different hand sizes. Style wise since theyre all black they match with everything and the leather is a nice touch to give me some contrast. I use this when hauling my hitch rack (cargo carrier), and with a few turns of a wrench, everything is tight.
