EDITED REVIEW Original below:

I bought several of these shoes now, and I believe they changed materials or construction.  The heels now collapse on me before the shoes show significant wear - 6 months or so.  This is in spite of some weight loss.  I have decided to stop buying them.  I ordered a pair of the NEW M990 Slide Running shoe to try - the heels look better designed, but they are a bit more expensive.

************** Original review (Was 5 Star)

I love the way you can just kick these shoes on and off.  Just as comfortable as the best running or walking sneakers and easier to get in and out of then loafers.  I think that they are unique in men's shoes.  NB makes some women's 801s, but they have some competition. I searched a long time to discover these even existed.  None at my local NB store, and the salesman said they didn't exist.  Amazon to the rescue again.

The only caveat I would have is that I wouldn't run much or hike on uneven surfaces with them.  Ok for limited distances, but I think those activities require laces.

I'm going to buy another pair.  Perfect for hanging around town, travelling (airplanes, TSA checkpoints), or the cruise boat walking track.
