Okay, I bought these to have a pair of cute sneakers I could wear while doing yardwork that wouldn't look filthy after a week. When I got them they were softer then I thought they would be and the tongue was too long but I've been mowing lawns, cutting trees and walking the dogs for months and they feel and look great! They often get very wet when I'm spraying aphids off my milkweed or watering my beautiful mexican sunflowers and still hang in there. Wish I had every color : )
