These shoes became my everyday shoes after a few seasons. Wear khaki jeans or shorts in place of sneakers this spring, summer, and fall. You can wear them barefoot if you wish (a little foot powder wouldn't hurt. I like Dr. Scholl's OdorX foot powder). I would have liked the leather to be a little softer, as the shoe loses its shape after constant wear. Some cedar shoes help a lot with this. The shoes breathe well and are versatile. The outsole holds up well. For the price this is a good choice.
