I don't wear sneakers that much, I tend to wear dress or semi-dress boots even for weekends walks. I think my last pair of sneakers was over 10 years old. I bought these because I wanted something super comfortable, with decent arch support and good looks. These sneakers are well made and have an upscale feel, due in no small part to the suede material. I bought them for daily walks in the neighborhood, and find myself wearing them for almost any casual occasion. They look especially good in green. I will buy them again.
