REV HT Original Barcelona

I love the look of these shoes, and so do a lot of other people. On multiple occasions, people have either asked what kind of shoes they are or told me they really like how they look. It's the primary reason I bought them--they look really great!

On the other hand, their overall wearability needs improvement. Because of the wide toe box, they bend in a different spot than other shoes I've worn. This meant breaking them in was painful and caused some blistering. Once broken in, I find they're still lacking in support/cushion. I still choose to wear them, but it's always a relief to take them off or put on a different, more comfortable pair of shoes.

I've got a wider foot that most at 4.5 inches. It is such a hassle to find shoes that will work for me so these seemed like a great choice since they look similar to Vans. They did fit me and left plenty room for my toes (lengthwise) but most of my foot width is right beneath my pinky toe. That is where the shoe seam is and I felt it rubbing against the outer edge of my foot. That being said, the W8.5 in Freestyle V3 fit beautifully for me. It was the first time I found a shoe made for people like me :) !
