The best part is that the sizing was accurate. Chinese imports tend to vary in size from small to large. So far, so good. The shoes look good. Of course, these aren't Armani, but they look decent enough for everyday wear and just about any informal use. The only exception are the lower parts, which look cheap. More on that later. They're just as comfortable as any other casual shoe, which is another plus. And they breathe well, too, so your feet don't feel cooped up or drenched in sweat. Big minus? I'm going back to cheap soles. This suggests to me that the shoe will not be durable. Well, at the asking price, don't expect, say, three years of constant wear. With these? I can't say exactly yet, but I think a lifespan of one to one and a half years is to be expected with frequent use. So four stars. Pretty good shoe but probably not going to last long but still a reasonable price.
