Style and comfort come together in this durable, comfortable shoe. I discovered this model in 2009 and bought a pair of brown and black sneakers. My wife loves the style and I love the fit. I wore them alternately as main shoes at work for 4 years. I just replaced my black pair and the top of the brown pair was re-sewn with my right pinky a year ago to give it new life for a year or two. Casual or formal, these are great casual shoes for any occasion.
