These shoes are awesome.  I order them to wear for a trip to Taiwan.  You can walk miles miles with getting tired to your feet.  Taiwan is a sub tropical country, it rains randomly in the afternoon, and pouring rain can get your shoes soaking wet, inside out.  I was the only survivor in my group, all my travel mates who had wet socks and wet Nikes were in misery.  You can wear these with or without socks, they are super comfy, the best when you have to remove your shoes for airport security check point.
