Maybe I expected too much from these shoes, my first attempt on the Kenneth Cole Unlimited label. K.Cole shoes are among the best men's shoes, stylish, durable and very well made. I have had over 6 pairs and loved every one of them. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about Unlisted using this example. I was hoping for cheap light travel slippers. I was expecting this material to be a little cheaper, but it is MUCH cheaper, a hard material that feels like vinyl. It promises to get terrible creases and tears with use. The workmanship looks more like cheap plastic than patent leather. Pooh. What mattered to me was that the back half of the shoe was very snug/narrow (the narrowest half I've ever tried on), even with a shoehorn it was difficult to put on. Without a shoehorn, you run the risk of squeezing the weak back of your heel. Definitely not airport slippers! The shoe is really light and with a better finish it would look pretty stylish but I can't recommend it as it is. Head to Kenneth Cole's factory store (there are many) and buy a discounted version of their main brand shoes. They won't cost much more and you'll be a lot happier (and look a lot more stylish!).
