The only drawback to this shoe is the sole....yes, the sole.  From the picture it looks like its a normal sole...until you get it and see that the sole is flat, with "cut-outs" on each side to make the shoe look normal..it is comfortable, but when you cross your legs, it's visible and screams "Dork/Loser", and personally I can't have my shoes saying that...it's just not polite!
