This is a reasonably snazzy shoe to wear and it's even comfortable. The padding in the soul that you put your weight on is quite excellent. The stiff faux leather is uncomfortable at first but breaks in quickly. I was a bit disappointed that this did not appear to be real leather. It didn't smell like leather. It wasn't supple like leather. It had to have been some kind of reproduction. As a result, the closer you look at the shoe, the cheaper it appears. Still, I was reasonably happy with my purchase. Until the end of day four.

At some point on day four, the "comfort gel" that makes the heel of your foot so comfy ruptured. This nasty blue gelatinous mess had spilled out and ruined my sock. I returned the shoes (which amazon was great about) and decided to go for the refund since I needed a replacement for work before amazon would be able to deliver one. I can't tell you how likely this is to happen to you, but frankly, these shoes are priced a bit high for what they are anyway. Use your judgement.

On the topic of Amazon returns, wow! I haven't had to RMA anything in a couple years and things have gotten crazy easy. They gave me a prepaid UPS label and I dropped the package off at a UPS store. The refund they gave me even included the original shipping to my house. AND they had an option to schedule a pick up. Wild.
