The shoes are good quality and solid shoes. They are made out of nice leather. The color is great and the fit is spot on. There is a little tread on the bottom of the shoes, which is nice. They are easy to get on and off. The criticism that I must give, is that the rubber band areas (4 on each side) need a little wear to loosen them up some. The first month or so wearing them, my feet would end up really hurting. Now that they are a little more worn and not so tight, my feet last longer in them. My feet still have the outline of the outlines of the shoes, but it isn't killing me like it did at the beginning.
