These really are the best all around town getting stuff done shoe. Comfortable, sturdy, they keep my feet feeling strong and relaxed all at once. They aren't the best looking shoe in the word, can really only be worn with jeans, in my opinion, but the level of comfort and support they offer my feet far outweighs any aesthetic consideration. I've worn these doing urban walking in many a world city, and they're perfect. Never a sore foot after wearing this shoe for hours on end. Highly recommended.
