I have these in black, navy and (medium taupe) gray. I bought them to use while in airports and during plane travel. (My feet swell, even with compression socks. I can leave them on and just unzip, in order to give my feet some room, while in the air.) They're easy on and easy off, during security checks and look better than regular sneakers. They're comfy, too.... especially during long walks to and from terminals. They look nice with jeans  as well as dressier pants, another bonus when traveling and suitcase space is limited. The only issue I had is sizing; these shoes run a 1/2 to full size small.  I have narrow feet that can fit a 7.5 in sandals and open-toed shoes... and 8 in closed-toed shoes, with heel grips and sometimes a ball-of-foot cushion or slim insole to customize fit. I first ordered an 8, but my toes were pushing hard against the toe box. The 8.5 fit me much better. (I suggest that someone with a wider foot may wish to go up a full size, while those of us with a more narrow foot may be ok with only a 1/2 size larger.)
