This was my first purchase of slip-ons, toms or anything else. While these shoes aren't made for all terrain, they feel great when walking on stable and predictable surfaces. I've had them for over a month now and although I don't wear them very often I am amazed at their durability. That's to be expected with canvas shoes, of course, so not a downside. The fit is a bit too big but I think that's because I wear them barefoot and not with socks. In addition, they are pretty decent for what they were created for - casual shoes for relaxed activities. Would buy again.
