I'm tired of tying my shoelaces several times a day. Also, the new laces don't last long and the old style is hard to find. So I bought these shoes for the looks and the fact that they didn't have laces. So far I'm very happy with the fit and look. They seem very comfortable but I still use them in my daily life. Yes I would buy them again as they are not too expensive and seem to be very well made.
