My criteria was that I expect to be doing some traveling soon so wanted a shoe that had many sneaker-like features, but worked in more social and business situations, especially in countries that frown upon sneakers in non-athletic situations.

I've been wearing them for about a week. Shoes pretty good overall. Good feel and fit, works well with my stride.

Couple of minor dings:
1. Color of actual shoe closer to a brown, rather than the greyish khaki of the picture
2. Collar of the shoe has a shallower angle compared to my other shoes, so it rubs against my ankle bone. It's a padded collar so it's not too bad, but could get irritating over a long day.
3. Stock insoles were pretty thin.

Modifications:

A. Replaced insoles with Dr. Scholl gel inserts, although may have to find a thicker insole or double up to avoid ding #2 above
B. Sprayed the shoes with a Camp Dry equivalent.

If I remember, I'll post an after-action report when I return from my trip.
