I have some old black high tops that are falling apart and love the style, requested these and was expecting cheap shoes (considering the price) but. they're actually pretty good. The stitching and looks are all up to date; got a few compliments from the guys at work. As far as comfort goes, they're just as comfortable as my old ones that were worn in vans. This shape/style isn't always the most comfortable if you have a wider foot, but I've worn them all day and had no problems. I ordered a size 9 (my usual size) and they fit perfectly. Overall I am very happy with them and look forward to wearing them regularly!
