This is my second pair of these shoes (same 'model', different color) so I must like them. The only downer, however, is that the synthetic mesh on the upper creases as soon as you put it on and ruins the nice, simple look of the shoe. Otherwise they are very comfortable (my feet survived a LONG day of walking and queuing at the amusement park in these shoes), the sizing is correct (I usually wear a 9.5 and 9 in these shoes fit perfectly as they don't offer 1 / size 2 They are definitely worth the thirty dollars I paid for each pair.
