Finding shoes that make you feel better when you buy them is not easy, but I am very happy with them. They are comfortable, appear durable and look very nice. The only issue I have is that while the sizing is perfect for me, the tongue/ankle design causes me to lose the top 3-4 lace holes. so much so that I almost unzipped it to fit my foot. It's weird that it fits so well, but it's almost impossible to put on. Not exactly sure what should change but I haven't had this issue with any other shoe I've ever worn, it really stands out and adds a bit of time and hassle every time I have to put them on or take them off her off. .
