October 2012: The shoes are stylish and fit like bicycle shoes. If fact, I ordered the same size as my Shimano bicycle shoes. The shoes fit like gloves and the single Velcro strap firmly holds the shoe on my foot. The white bands along the heels give the black shoes a sporty appearance which limit their use to casual attire.

The shoe is a wonderful combination of an athletic and an everyday shoe. I hope the shoes wear well because I intend to enjoy them for many years.

April 2013: I reduced my rating. After six months, the Velcro has pulled off one of the shoes. Without the Velcro the shoe is useless. Diesel accepts returns for only 20 days after purchase and they did not offer to repair the shoe. I will need to take it to the shoemaker and have a new piece of Velcro sewn in place. Shoe repair costs $8

July 2013: Velcro pulled of other shoe. Shoe repair costs $8. Don't buy these shoes.
