I just got these today, and so far I love them!  I can't wear very flat shoes and these feel like they provide enough support for walking around in.  I like the look of the laces even though they aren't functional:)  I love that I will be able to wear them with shorts or pants.  I have never really owned a pair of "sneakers."  Usually just wear regular tennis shoes that I wear when working out etc.  These will be great to wear around.  And SO CUTE!!
