Shoes were as described and shipping was very fast.  I love these shoes and wear them to the gym and when I am just out for the day..  very comfortable and I wear them with the toe socks, so they have not gotten smelly..  This is an update.  I have now had these shoes for a full year.  I wear them daily (6 days a week)to the Gym and about every other day wherever I go.  I say every other day because I purchased a second pair of Vibram FiveFinger shoes and I switch from day to day.  These shoes have warn very well.  The soles are still in good shape and the stitching and glue seams are holding well..  I actually wash them every month or so. These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I used to wear Birkenstock sandals and thought they were comfortable.  I now cannot wear them because the hurt my feet. I would highly recommend them.
