I was looking for a stiff-soled shoe (because I suffer from turf toe) into which I could put a stiff orthotic insole. Since I also bought a half-size up, fitting the insole was not a problem. There is plenty of room in the toe box and the sole is already relatively stiff compared to other BB shoes.

One issue I have with the shoe is the heels. They have radiused corners, not a problem in itself, but the outsole is soft blown rubber which makes the foot susceptible to rolling. I solved this issue by wearing ankle support, but would not feel comfortable without this extra support.

Arrived in 3 day which was great. Great packaging, the shoes looked better than the picture my husband loved them!
