These are beautiful shoes. They are very thin and give me excellent feel when driving. They are light and very comfortable. I initially ordered black but got a brown pair in a black box. When I contacted Amazon regarding this, I was immediately sent the correct color and a return envelope for the incorrect pair. This all happened in a 4 day period of time; excellent service from Heart and Sole and Amazon. I put some Lock Laces on the shoes because I just find tying shoelaces every morning to be annoying. They work great, and make the shoes even more comfortable than they were with the original laces. My only word of caution would be: if you are going to run with these, be very careful of rocks because you WILL feel each and every one you step on. I wear these because I work up to 16-18 hour days and need light, flexible, comfortable shoes. These fit the bill perfectly.
