I love the look and fit of these Sperrys. The arch support doesn't look like a gym shoe, but it's exactly what I want in a running shoe. After a few months of wearing, they still look great. I recommend spraying them with Scotchguard, it repels water and makes cleaning easier. There is a slight separation of the sole from the canvas where the boot flexes as you walk. I have the same problem with a $200 Nike Metcon 3 and a bit of shoe glue holds it all together.
