I am very sensitive when it comes to shoes - walking, running, formal. I have two requirements: they have to be very comfortable to wear and they have to look great. I had lower expectations when I ordered because I thought the photos were photoshopped and the reviews were overblown. But I have to say that I was very pleasantly surprised. They look great and feel great. I don't know how long they will last so I will try to update them after 3 months. But now I recommend a strong buy.
