These shoes are very comfy and they seem to be holding up just fine so far.

However, be warned that the shiny plastic on the outside is not as shiny as the government issued low quarters. They sort of have a hazy, slighly discolored finish to them.

Also, it is not really an issue, but the toes area of these shoes stick up a little bit more than the Army ASU low quarters- you can see this in the picture (the toe does not taper down into the sole of the shoe), but it is hardly noticeable and is actually kind of nice because it gives the wearer more room in the toes area.
