I purchased these shoes anticipating comfort, beauty and wearability for an upcoming trip.  They look great but do not offer the comfort level I was looking for, especially for lots of walking.  Additionally, the inside does not absorb sweat, making them sticky and uncomfortable in hot weather.  Leather insoles are so much better.  I do believe they will be better next year, after a little wearing and breaking in.  They are attractive and useful for those nights out at a play or dining.
