Avia Avi-Union II Strap Non Slip Shoes for Men - Comfort Men's Restaurant, Work & Safety Footwear - Medium, Wide or Extra Wide, Steel Gray/Asphalt/Nimbus Cloud/Silver, 8.5 : Amazon.ca: Clothing, Shoes & Accessories

I always purchase 10.5 wide for this style.With some styles I have to get 11.5 wide.For some reason beyond my understanding, not all makers follow the same standard.And most shoes using this design, are not made properly, as if the makers, never looked at a foot before.And instead follow some outdated old pattern and repeat, the same forever'Our toes get shorter on the outside, this is not a signal to curb the entire shoe inwards, tapper length yes, but not half the foot curbing inwards jamming the small toes. it's a small curve, but your feet notice it.Yes our feet get wider, but straight forward.Since the flaw is pretty much universal for this style, I'm complaining for nothing.Since I don't think any manufacture, will ever look at a real foot.The shoes seem to be good quality, and as advertised.The fit is small.I have worn Air Monarch brand for decades, they are the most comfortable shoes, but the price is now crazy.So I'm trying these instead.I purchased 10.5 Wide, because they said the fit was true. the Wide is to make up for the universal design flaw mentioned above. (The abnormal curving foot) Yes same flaw is also in the Air Monarch.I should have gotten the 11" Wide or 11".5 wide since these are a full inch shorter then any shoes I own of 10.5 Wide.Product is otherwise satisfactory and as expected.I sure they will stretch and fit better after a while.I hope since I purchased 2 pairs, I rotate them daily to avoid smelly shoes.One more thing, the tongue is not attached to straps and it slides down and inward.This is very annoying, to solve the problem, I used Velcro tape to attach the tongue to the back of the top strap.This seems to work ok, but it is a flaw that should have been detected, and fixed before mass production.Go figure.That's my opinion.Sorry about the venting.UpdateI returned the 10.5 and got 11.5.Better but still small compared the to others of same style.See photo, 10.5, 11.5 and old 10.5.The old pair are 10.5, the 11.5 are still smaller. So add at least one size when ordering.update 2I purchased these 2 pairs for indoor use only, and I alternate them so they don't smell and last longer,6 months ago and they are falling apart.The side that they tuck under the sole to glue is cut much to short, and the sole just starts to peel off.I had to glue them on.These shoes are so light and cheap that your feet slide inside, they actually feel just like putting plastic bags on for shoes.I never feel secure while wearing them, and I can't walk normally, because I'm they may tear open.They didn't even last 6 months indoors, not recommended for anyone that does a lot of walking, and they can't be used outdoors, they would fall apart because they soak up water like a sponge.On a positive note they don't skid on floors, but your feet do inside.

A very comfortable shoe at a great price. They appear to be quality made. I have only one minor complaint, and that is the tongue in the shoes slips off to one side, after any great amount of walking. Other than that...I love em. These are all I will buy in future. Love the velcro straps, too ! I did notice that they are a bit tight, which is often a problem with shoes made in China. You might want to order a half or full size bigger than your usual shoe size.
