These shoes wear out in the heal in 6 months and I have gone through 3 pairs (kept buying them as they are so comfortable). They are super slippery on wet brick. Traction is very poor. They are light and comfortable but I stopped buying them because the heal wears out so fast and walking in rain or light snow is a chore and gets dangerous. Switched to hush puppies which seem to be lasting longer with similar fit and feel and better traction.
