I spent about 12 hours a day walking around New Orleans for a trip wearing these and they never hurt my feet or diminished in quality. I love the color (I got the Khaki) and the little pocket worked well against possible Mardi Gras pick-pockets, but don't expect to get more than a little bit of cash and your Driver's license in there. My only complaint and why I didn't give them 5 stars was the slouchiness in the ankle area. I was expecting them to be a little more form- fitting there but instead looked a little cheap because of the looseness. Otherwise, I still wear them and they look great with a pair of jeans, or tights!
