I have these shoes in black and "jeans" and they are practically the only casual shoes I ever wear. The stretchiness makes them so comfortable and the weave-look is just very attractive. Mine came with a pair of insoles which provide a bit of an arch support, but also make the shoes tighter. Even though I usually like an arch support, for some reason these feel quite comfortable enough without one, and so I leave out the extra insole. If in doubt about size, order up -- and especially do so if you want to use the insole.
