I got two pair of these, one black and one white. Both are comfortable, a good fit, easy to get on/off, and nice looking.

I don't get the impression these are solid enough to give me years of wear, but most modern athletic shoes are about the same. So I won't ding them for that, and they might yet surprise me with their long wearing.

But that's only if I learn to put up with their biggest flaw: squeaking.

All four shoes squeak with every step. It sounds like leather being twisted.

It isn't horribly loud, but it's just loud enough to be annoying. None of my other athletic or casual shoes squeak, except for one pair of old Topsiders. So it's not my gait or my floors. It's these shoes.

If they break in and stop squeaking, I'll come back and note that.
