I just like that these shoes are so casual and easy to slip on. They can be bent to fit in carry ons and take up virtually no space. I don't think they look very attractive however I have received compliments on them, most likely bc ppl are impressed by how comfortable I look. They are my got-to shoes for travel and to put in car and throw on after a long hike. Having said all this the soles are starting to wear down on one side.
