I have liked these shoes a lot. They are very comfortable. They are pretty versatile as well. I wear them when I am dressing up a little, dressing business casual or with jeans and a tshirt to go to the store. The issues other people describe as far as wearing them in I experienced as well, but those went away quickly. It dug into the front of my ankle a little but that went away after a couple days. It rubbed around the sides and back of my ankle a little but not so much that it was unbearable plus that went away after about a week. The only down side I see is offwhite bottoms of the soles get very dirty very quickly and I cant get them clean. I tried cleaning it with water but it didnt work. Even a little soap had very little affect. Dirt seems to cling to this material really well. But thats on the bottom of the shoe so usually not noticeable. It is started to creep up the sides in the back though. I need to figure out a way to get it clean. After 7 months the soles are still dirty. If I scrub them hard with a brush and warm, soapy water they will get pretty clean, but get dirty within a day of walking around. http://garyadair.com/186198
