My father loves these shoes. I got him a matte brown pair last Christmas and my mum says he wears them every day. He then asked where he could find them in black, so I surprised him by sending them to him. He's a minister who's on his feet for hours at a time, and he's a tall 6ft 3in man, just to illustrate the weight he's putting on them. He says he's never owned a pair of sneakers. wore shoes before. It brought him great comfort and convenience just to slip on and go, and they look great with jeans, slacks, or a modest suit. He also has flat feet with no arch and they adjusted that.
