I genuinely donβt think I will be able to ever go back to THOSE other canvas high top shoe brands after wearing these. Right out of the box, they felt good and NO pinky toe rubbing! Actual space for toes in the toe box portion. I am a Pin Chaser at a vintage era bowling alley and need good, flat, stable and grippy shoes to work in, but flexible & light enough for climbing over bowing machines & stepping down into some oily lane areas. First day on, wore them for a nine hour shift and no blisters...
