I ordered these shoes looking for a glossy shoe. I definitely got a GLOSS! Much, much, too much, glossyness it has. I wouldn't order these for the office. They are far too glossy for everyday corporate. The picture doesn't give it justice. In the picture it looks dull.

This does get two stars for one reason only. I ordered this thinking it would dull down and look okay after a few weeks. It definitely has that going for it. But where it lacks is the sole. I wanted a "Slip resistant rubber outsole" like the description says. What you get for your ~40 clams is a really, really man made outsole. I was expecting a lot more. I wanted a shoe that would be grip the feet of my chair and not slip when I decide to twirl myself during work. I wanted a shoe that would grip the carpet as I run to the printer. The shoe does not perform here. It feels like they took the sole off some flip flops and threw it on. I expect it to hold up as well as a some flip flops too. If you want a long term shoe, and you walk a lot e.g. to and from the metro/subway and at least 2 miles. I would stay away from these. The rubber is truly cheap. The tread design would work adequately in the snow, provided you had some grip.

Maybe time will tell; maybe it will become more slip resistant as I break in the shoe. Today's the first impression and first impressions are everything.

Forgive the grammar and spelling, I Quickly type these up on lunch breaks and don't have time for A+ writing.
