I bought these for my Watchmen 'Rorschach' costume but when I tried them on, I decided I would also wear them this winter for weekends. They are VERY comfortable. Look, I admit that I am a shoe 'snob'. I wouldn't normally wear these things but I was really pleasantly surprised to realize how comfortable these were.  I could do without the engraved logo at the heels but the overall look is ok. I need these to get pretty distressed-looking and I'm hoping a winter season of wear will do that. Meanwhile, I will just enjoy the comfort.
