The shoes feel solid. I love the navy blue on the suede! The upper is quite thin on the heel and arch of the foot, but not too thin. The shoes are well made and the combination of sole and upper feels premium, soft and supportive. If you are used to shoes with a lot of padding on the top and heel of the shoe, then this shoe may not be for you. They use the same G6 outsole as the Reynolds G6, but the upper doesn't feel like the Reynolds. These will be my "dress/casual shoes" as they are nice but too thin for my liking.
