I have to say that these shoes far exceeded my expectations. I wore them to Disney World for 4 days and can't believe how good my feet felt afterwards. I had a pair of Brooks that I wanted to wear every other day and I just never took them off my feet. Amazing shoes. I do not recommend wearing socks with them. Just grab some odor eaters and apply them overnight. The insoles can also be machine washed. The breathable mesh keeps my feet from sweating too much. I have already bought another pair in a different color. Navy blue also looks really good under pants if you need to jazz them up a bit. Great shoes!
