Classic style sneaker that the hubby really likes. This was not his first pair, probably around his third pair of this style. First time purchasing from Amazon. Each pair has been sturdy and withstood the test of time of five or more years each (as casual wear). His last pair only died because we washed them one too many times. One caveat is that I said they "fit as expected", that's only because I knew what to order based on the last pair. I think they run a little big because his normal shoe size is 9.5 US and we ordered the 10.5 and they fit perfect. He of course would buy them again.
