You need a thicker lining between the outsole and the insole. I could feel the arches of the outsole pressing into the bottom of my foot just by standing in it. Very uncomfortable to walk. I bought some outsole inserts but they made the shoe too narrow, hard to squeeze your feet in and zipping is more difficult. I'm pretty sure they'll be bursting at the seams soon. Not a solid build at all. But they look beautiful! If you're the type of guy who can walk barefoot on gravel without pain (I used to be) and like wearing moccasins without socks and don't expect your shoes to last a year, then you'll love these sneakers!
