They are a quality product and look great, however... They took a bit to get used to.  They are a bit clunky if you're not used to this type of shoe.  It also, like any new shoe, took a while to get broken in.  Having survived the initial break in period I can now say that they are becoming my favorite pair of shoes.  They are quite comfortable and good construction.  Give them a chance, they're not going to be a shoe you can wear once and decide that you like/dislike them.
