I was pleasantly surprised at how good they are! Slightly more expensive than flat deck shoes in discount stores, the difference in quality is obvious. A good canvas upper and rubber outsole with added tread for traction should last a lot longer on lower-end brands. They're easy to slip on and off, although they don't feel loose or fall off, and the sole material should wear well and remain flexible and not tear like cheap ones do. I usually wear 10.5 or 11 men depending on the shoes; I ordered 11 in this style and it fits perfectly.
