I like the weight of the shoes, as well as the rubber sole, which is very firm.  Although I knew in advance that is not leather, it has some smell to synthetic leather and that is why the shoes are a little warm after you wear them for a whole day.  Another thing to mention is that the lining is like synthetic suede that makes it some difficult to slide the foot when you put the shoes on.  Other than that I like the shoes.  This shoes are true to size.
