DINKLESMen's Glide Marching Band Shoes (Wide Width) (10, Black)

I ordered 1 pair and they were sent from Georgia very quickly and delivered by my mail carrier. The packaging was nicely minimal, just a plastic sleeve around the shoebox. The shoebox is nicely minimal with unbleached cardboard. The shoes are beautiful and fit as expected (I wear converses all-stars and vans authentics normally). They are really comfortable and have good grip and support. These are vegan and really affordable and well made. The whole process ordered through smile.amazon.com felt good. My purchase benefited charity, was handled by USPS (‘merica), and what was delivered was a quality product at a reasonable price. Highly recommended!

These are fantastic shoes. Been buying them since 2005 for my boys (now near-adult sons) as dress shoes. We first purchased them because the boys were in a marching band. But they were so comfortable and sturdy that we started using them as dress shoes. They are nice enough to pair with a good men's suit for speech and debate tournaments, weddings, etc. Since they are made to take a beating (think: hot asphalt, many hours, marching with heavy brass instruments) they are great for any time they need to be on their feet all day/evening in virtually any circumstance. (They wear well too. Been passing them down to the next son, for a total wear season of 2-3 years each pair.) They fit very "true to size" and have a nice fit at the heel and instep, regardless of the foot width (B to extra wide).

My son says these are so comfortable for marching band. This is his second pair, the first pair lasted two years and he says these feel even more cushy than the previous version!

The shoes fit as expected. They are not very comfortable for marching in parades. The soles are too stiff and uncomfortable. These would be great if only marching for a football halftime show, but I would find something else if you will be marching long distances such as in parades.

A requirement for marching band. I wore out the first pair I had and needed a new pair for my senior year. They are easy to clean.

These shoes are so much better than the crappy Style Plus our local music store sells, which are only a few dollars less. These shoes are so worth the extra couple bucks. Invest in good marching shoes.

my kids have worn these every year with the marching band... make it a whole year before wearing the heels down

My son loves them and says they are very comfortable
