Not a day goes by that I'm wearing these shoes that I don't get stopped and asked about them - usually when I'm on the subway (I was actually just talking about it at a guy who wanted to get himself a pair just before he wrote this review). I love these shoes! Very convenient; creates a barefoot feeling when walking, which allows the legs to move apart naturally. If you have any doubts about buying these sneakers, I say go for it. You will be very glad you did!
