I'm a musician on a cruise ship and I needed something comfortable and black for the stage. I was about to buy a pair of K-Swiss breathable sneakers but was concerned by the reviews that said some of the K-Swiss on Amazon are knock offs. These Uubari are perfect for that! They are very light, comfortable and breathable. They were a bit tight at first, but after a few hours they tightened on my leg and have held their shape ever since. I'll be ordering a few more soon.
