Grabbed these when the price really dropped. They are built fairly well considering the current price point and the fit and finish is good. Doesn't look like real leather though. They do look good, although I would perfer matte black vs. some of the shiny black they incorporated into it. The sole has fairly aggressive lugs, but like the other reviewer said it lacks a little cushioning, which is mostly being done by the insert rather then anything built into the rubber sole like you might see in a basketball or running shoe. They are also lightweight and for me fit true to size.
