I was afraid when I bought these shoes that they may squeak with each step like another pair of CRs that I have that are similar.  These did not have that problem.  They are a moderately comfortable shoe; I can wear them casually, but I wouldn't want to wear them if I was doing a lot of walking.  They fit well and are made of good material that seems to hold up well.  The downside is that the leather shoelaces tend to come lose during the day, and double knotting them is a pain.  I am not sure I would pay the full price for this, but at one third that this was a good buy.
