I bought these shoes 4 years ago in a department store, and they are the love of my sneaker life. I'm wearing them right now. They're SO comfy and durable. The only thing i recommend doing them is buying them a half size bigger, and putting suede protector on. I never did and wore them to a music festival. However, even with the suede not being in great condition, they look and feel awesome. No other sneaker ever lived up to it!
