He walked fine in them. They are nothing like the Amazon photos. We got a 7/8 and they are a little snug. The top of these shoes isn’t too tight either. 5 fit just perfect. They have no cushioning so you might need to get the Crocs LiteRide Clogs if you will be standing a lot. His phone charges but his air pods which are generation 2 and should charge with this don’t charge! Its loud enough to hear people talk (podcasts, news) well in the shower. Even during football games--I can hear the piano perfectly and it doesnt disturb my husband watching TV! Not a huge deal but it makes them pretty easy to steal.
