I bought these shoes so I can have some "everyday" shoes to wear around that looked good and were pretty cheap.  These shoes filled that need for me.  They are a little "odd" and stand out because they are purple and yellow (If you're a Lakers or LSU fan, you're good) but that's the reason why I bought them.  I like people to notice my shoes and ask me where I got them from.  If you don't mind really bright shoes and like to stand out from the crowd, these shoes are for you.
