I actually love these sneakers that I waited for six months for the price to go down.  These are very comfortable especially if you insert a pair of reasonably priced insoles.  Great soles, quality leather and compliments galore from all the fashionable ladies.  Two things:  1.) Be cognizant of sizing because I think they run slightly small compared to the Frye's Green Low Lace pair I have in a 8.5. I bought these in a 9.5, so you understand the difference if you're debating between the two.  I think it has to do with inside lining because these are lined with padding which makes for a more comfortable fit. 2.) I bought Black but they look more Dark Roast Coffee Brown in my opinion.  It might be the leather shoelaces which contribute to the contrast in colors.  But anyway if you can absorb the cost I recommend these sneaks.
