I bought it before my family went on vacation. I wanted something light, comfortable, no socks required, casual but no sneakers, and a bit trendy. It met all of those expectations. During the holidays we walked around the city a lot. We walked 3 to 5 miles a day and they were comfortable throughout. This year I wanted to start giving up running shoes for everyday walking. I guess I try to look like there's a thought behind my clothes. I felt like I could wear shorts, khaki or knickers with it and still look good. Walking the streets or by the pool made me feel good.
