Question for Coach shoe owners

I've been wanting to try the lace up style (do they say tennis shoe anymore? showin' my age!). But I wear orthodics and I wonder if these are a "decent" shoe or just made for looks. I can't believe all the young people I see running around in flip flops all day & all winter too. Yes they look "stylish", I guess :sad:, but big bad troubles for their feet later on. Orthopedics will be a growth industry in the future.
 
Can I tack on a question about sandals? I spied a pair of wedge sandals on ebay in a 5-1/2. I generally take a 5-1/2 or a 6 depending on the fit, so am kind of hoping they run a smidge big.


You might be OK with the size 5 1/2. I ordered a pair of the Maritza wedges in a size 7 and they're a bit big so I'm going to order a size 6 1/2 to see if that's a better fit for me. I usually wear a size 7 in Coach wedges so I'm not sure what's going on with the Maritza wedges.
