There should be no problem walking outside in them to pick up the newspaper or check the mail. The wireless features didnt work because the dongle and headphones wouldnt connect. The picture shows less than a week worth of wear on them. a teeny bit snug in the toe box, but I think that will improve after wearing them for a while. PLEASED WITH IT They feel great, even with new firmness. It looks like it will hold up. I absolutely love them theyre the most comfortable & breathable shoes I own. Yes, thats right - absolutely no contact information. La construction en métal léger est robuste.
