These are probably the nicest athletic shoes I've owned in terms of comfort, etc.  They look nice and feel nice and have seemed to wear well.  The only problem I've had with them is they seem to carry and odor much more than other shoes.  I've never had a problem with any shoe my entire life being very "stinky" but these...well...they are definitely worse in that area.  Not sure what it could be about them that causes this problem.
