This is shoe is almost perfect with a couple minor flaws. First of all it is leather and looks great. The design does not stand out to someone that isn't going out of their way to look at it since it is all black... so go with a different color if that is an issue for you. The insoles it comes with are surprisingly comfortable, and have a slight arch to support the mid-foot area. The tread is also really good, and the shoe always has a great grip on the ground.

The biggest negative for me is that while walking up stairs or heavy elevation, the back of the shoe does not raise with the heel. There is just a very loose grip on the heel area since the laces are nowhere near the ankle and the heel area is low as well. I get that they did this for looks, but it is incredibly annoying.

The only other issues for me are that there is one loose part of the threading that wasn't pulled all the way through and is slightly lifted, and the holes the laces go through are not tight so I have to fully tighten them all the way from the bottom every time I put them on. The shoe is also really flexible and bends with my foot. Maybe this is just a preference, but aside from being a bit annoying I can see this creating wear on the shoe after awhile.
