This pair of sneakers is an incredible value in every way. In the first place the Amazon price was a great deal. In the second place, the sneakers are very well made and should last a long time. In the third and final place, the design is classic and timeless. I had a pair of sneakers much like this 40 years ago when I was a kid and the fact that my style conscious 13 year old loves them is amazing. Originally I ordered them for her because she needed a pair of white sneakers for a costume for a play she in which she was performing. The price was good enough that I didn't mind if that was their only use. However, these sneakers have come out time and again. She wore them to a party just last night. A great deal from Amazon on a classic design that has held onto quality.
