Its a good shoe and has a design thats simple and still looks good for work and casual wear as well as skating. My only problem is I had a pair that must have been slightly flawed, I recieved the pair with the right shoe size and the right shoe of the two had a pressure bearing section of material that was only noticable on the right shoe. I simply got the shoes stretched for a day and it was easily solved. I still give it a good review because that issue might have been simply due to a faulty stiching in a small number of shoes produced.
