The design of these shoes is slip-on, minimalist, very casual, they go like slippers, they stay and the fabric is such that they keep their shape. The only problem with them is the soles, they don't hold up very well as they detach from the rest of the shoe. This is my second pair, I'm more careful with the activity in them. I'm glad they still make these shoes but they need to figure out the best way to attach the sole to the canvas.
