This is the second pair of these sandles that I've purchased. I wore the first pair almost everyday for close to five years. From just normal wear around the house, to camping in the mountains. I finally had to order a new pair because the sole finally wore through.Best Deals on Timberland Men's Altamont Fisherman Sandal
I have Diabetes, although not so bad a cut won't heal on my foot. Neuropathy ia a problem, feet extremely sensitive, so Foot comfort is NO# priority. I have feet that are totally flat and shaped like a duck, no arch at all. Fisherman shoes are hard to find in extra wide sizes but the shoes I had worn every day for 6 years finally gave up. The velcro wore out on the straps. I searched for days on the web for fisherman's with a buckle, but the only ones I could find were D width. These shoes are listed as 2E width. I wear a 4E, but thought I'd give them a try. I found out that Timberland no longer makes these so I'm guessing that what's out there is all that's left. Some reviewers said that the shoe is a little big. The 2E width proved to be just wide enough for me and when I first tried them on, they felt a little like a new shoe, but I never had a moments discomfort. After a week of constant wear my feet are comfortable and the shoes feel completely broken in. Size 12 length ieaves about an inch of wiggle room, but I always buy 12 because the longer shoe puts my bunions at the widest part of the shoe where a shorter shoe pushes my foot further towards the front where the shoe is 1/4 inch narrower. My ankles overpronate and buying shoes has always been one big hassle for me, especially online as you don't know what your getting until they arrive. I always try to find a shoe locally, but it's proven to be a waste of time. The shoes might be a little large, but that's a big plus for me as my foot can't tolerate the least bit of binding. I wear fisherman's shoes 98% of the time, even in 6 inches of powder snow, while I'm clearing off the windshield of the car. I wear conventional men's type dress shoes only to Church on Sunday, or to a rare special event where I have to dress casual instead of my normal more than casual, (but not people of Walmart), over-the-hill-gang attire. My shoe requirements are: heel and strap are comfortable, not loose, shoes do not move on my feet, but for the front part of my shoe, a thickly padded leather dinner-plate would work just fine. When I come home from a day of traipsing around Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart, Costco, etc. I don't want my feet to be hurting.These shoes are stylish, comfortable they just feel good never the slightest discomfort. I'm happy as a clam.
