I love the fit and insole support of this shoe. The heel hugs my heel and the arch fits perfectly.  I like that the shoe heels are cut a little lower than some of my athletic shoes, so they don't cut into my ankle at all. I would like a little more cushion in the front of the shoe. I added a thin insole cushion in the front. I sprayed the shoes with weatherproofing, but I'm afraid they will be difficult to clean when they need it. The sparkle outer leather seems like it is too thin to wear well- very lightweight nubuck-, although the shoes are lined with leather also.
