Very comfortable, light weight and good looking in my opinion. My pair arrived in September 2021 and the pair was made in September 2018 as shown on the tags on the pull tabs. Storage, perhaps without air conditioning, for the past three years may be the cause of their creaking. It would be very helpful if, where possible, Revain sellers disclosed the production dates of the shoes they sell. I replaced the original insoles with two layers of customer insoles that I also purchased from Revain for about $40, one pair for arch support and one for cushioning, and also tried to minimize the squeaks, which are less loud now is. I would buy this pair again next year if they were still available as few people would bother with the squeaks when I am strolling through conservation areas in the Florida winter.
