I love these shoes. They are very comfortable and I will be using them when I travel. I travel extensively and I'm always looking for a better travel shoe. Something that looks nice and is very comfortable for walking all day. The rubber sole provides excellent cushion and a bit of "spring" and I was able to wear them the day they arrived. Ther were no blisters or hotspots. There is enough room to add an orthotic insert if you want to. I will probably buy a pair in black, but I wish the black had a black rubber sole.
Because they ship from China they take a long time to arrive. I have seen some comments about them shipping the shoes tucked inside each other resulting in a wrinkled toe. They did ship them tucked into each other and tightly wrapped and taped in a plastic mailing envelope. I imagine this is the least expensive shipping method for the manufacturer.  Happily, the tight wrapping also prevents damage. One of my shoes has a little wrinkle in the toe but its soft leather, so it doesn't really look out of place.
