These shoes are amazing. The second I put them on I felt like they were in heaven. Very comfortable, great for hiking and also very cool in the heat (I live in Phoenix and it gets very very hot in the summer). But most impressively in the commercial they showed that the shoes without socks do not stink and do not lie. I never wear socks and I'm sweating in the 110 degree heat here in Phoenix, even after a month I'm not wearing them at all! These are really great shoes for the price. I actually bought 2 more pairs of Bruno Marc shoes because I really liked them. All of them are great.
