shoes are good when you need a cheap item that won't last very long. It's quite comfortable once you get used to the super thin insole and absolutely no arch support. These are decent shoes for walking and driving, just don't get stuck in them in the rain. In the summer I wear them without socks and the insole gets quite slippery even with a small kick (there is little ventilation in the shoes as they are quite snug). The quality of the material is pretty low so you can expect this shoe to last about a year. the material on both heels tore (not at the seam, but right next to it on both shoes) from the sole to the achilles, and the sole tore at some point during the year. I usually wear out the tread long before the boot breaks, but in this case the tread seems to be the most resilient part of the boot. everything is fine for a year but i will not buy again. $20 more and you can probably get a MUCH better quality shoe that will last you well over a year.
