Let's get by with one shortcoming for the time being. They arrived about two weeks late. But I took my time with them, so no harm and no foul. If you walk barefoot or in stockings, this may matter to you. About four years ago I ordered a different style and color of these soft moccasin-like shoes and almost every time I wear them someone (even other men) comments on how good they look. They also look great, fit perfectly and are very comfortable. The rubber or plastic outsole feels weird at first, but not for long. I wouldn't wear them outside in the Northeast winter either. Good protection but no insulation. I am very happy with the look, fit and comfort of this shoe and the price is reasonable. Maybe I'll look for another pair of this brand soon!
