These are great in an arsenal of basic sneakers. They give a slim profile and are very cozy. The leather/suede upper is a great touch, but does not clean easily. These are a flatfooted shoe, so if you have problems with arch support you should definitely consider alternative footwear for daily out-and-about.<br /><br />Add to this that they are affordable. I wear them regularly Sp/Su/F and get about 2 years of wear which is above par as far as many sneakers go.
