As someone suggested, I went a full size up from my usual NB 9 to a 10 4e - then, what's not to love? VERY comfortable - the cushion is great and for me the toe box is fine, the arch support is perfect - and very stable laterally, which is what I look for. It's hard to find wide shoes where the sole is wider than the upper, to keep me from rollovers from the occasional deep grass rock or sidewalk irregularities or just general supination. These are them! Other Pros and Cons:
Pros
- For me the $40 price is good gravy
- Built like a tank, VERY high quality, they must have found a new level of China factory
- Excellent for walking from the training room to the locker room, etc.
- They're not pointy and garish, phew.
- The heel pull is not only handy but at my age almost necessary
Cons
- They do have quite a bit of herringbone on the soles for picking up floor-scarring grit
- Uppers are designed for much lower insteps than mine, the laces hardly close over the shiny tongues
- I've had to go with a lacing trick, see my photo, until I can measure and buy longer laces
- They don't keep out snow and water up to my knees, or drain like water sneaks ;)
- Not the best for tree or pole climbing ;)
- As with tanks, heavy, and I doubt anyone will run very far with them

what's not to love after a full size up 9 to 10 in a 4e? oh, wait...

I contacted Reebok directly and they question if Amazon even sells authentic Reebok products. Here is Reebok's response
"Thank you for contacting Customer Care for Reebok.com!
I am very sorry for the issue with your recent shoe purchase. Unfortunately, we cannot process a claim on shoes purchased from Amazon.com. Due to this being a third party resell shop, we cannot guarantee the authenticity of the item you purchased. Please contact the Amazon Customer Service Team for further assistance in this matter."
This is the third time I have purchased this specific pair of sneakers over a 2-3 year period and I am now done with Reebok.
Something must have changed in how they make these shoes over the years. The first pair I bought got the full use and are at the end of life, but are still in one piece and used for yard work.
The second pair can’t even replace the yard work shoes because the bottom of the sneaker is coming completely off.
I bought the third pair before I noticed the second pair was falling apart and they were untouched in my closet for 6 months. I have worn them for about 3 months and I found the bottoms of the newest pair are also peeling back! How can the beat up shoes from ~3 years ago still be in one piece and the shoes that have 3 months of casual use be falling apart?
There must have been a cost-out on the amount of glue or type of glue used. Great job!
Reebok just lost a longtime customer.
Amazon may not be selling authentic Reebok products, according to Reebok - Sneakers are not the same - 3 pairs to prove it
