Bought them for nice leather athletic shoes. Requires return and exchange for 1/2 size larger. I am happy with them, they look very nice and fit my feet well, especially with bursitis. The color combination goes well with most of the clothes I wear and when I wear them in a dusty environment the leather upper does wear out easily. I go to the horse sale and the barns are very dusty, so mesh and cloth sports shoes accumulate a lot of dust, in addition, they get wet when you walk on wet grass or on rainy days.
