These sneakers are definitely better looking than most (especially you wear running shoes as casual shoes...which is an atrocity). They are very comfortable and fairly true-to-fit depending on the color (oddly enough).

I have own about 4 pairs of Clydes and they all have one problem in common: the soles. The soles wear out in about 2 months after regular wear and ANY moisture will get into the shoe from the bottom. They aren't meant to be waterproof, but even walking on wet ground will soak the shoes after regular wearing of the shoe.

Additionally, if you buy the "leather" be aware that it is not genuine leather (even though it claims to be "real" leather). It feels like faux leather and does not absorb leather conditioners or waterproofing agents the way full grain or even cheap leather does. At the price of the shoes, this was to be expected.

With proper care and light use, these shoes last maybe 6 months. I still love the comfort and looks of the shoe (and price) so I keep buying these, but I really wish they were better quality.
