The leather wipes clean, the width is roomy but not too roomy, and the inside of the shoes are like a pillow for my feet. The arch is not really supportive, but I'm wearing them as a casual shoe, not for working out. The only actual issue I had was a one-day break-in of the heel of the shoe. It was rubbing the back of my heel. I solved it by pulling back on them several times throughout the day, and they were perfect from then on. I want more colors. Buy this shoe!" - KAL Bear
