I was happy to order these as they look like another big brand but aren't that expensive. I read a lot of reviews and really felt that two things contributed to my buying experience being so positive - the comments on the sizing and the comments on the tag. Sizing - YES, if you're between sizes, be sure to order. I have 9 1/2 and 10 fit perfectly. The label isn't as trendy as the HD symbol on brand names, but honestly? It's mostly hidden by the laces and really is almost invisible unless you're within inches of the shoe. How many people will look at your shoes that closely? Rzhunimagu! I ordered dark gray and found they tend towards the black end but are not actually black. The color is amazing and goes with almost everything I wear. They're pretty durable and definitely more comfortable than I expected, which is a solid bonus for me.
