This is a great shoe.  I use them for walking, I wear it to work for casual business.  With jeans on the weekend.  It's great.  The sole is very grippy, which is good because I walk down a grassy hill and when it's wet, it's slippery.  But these shoes hold their grip very well.  Initially when I bought them, I thought they were too tight as I have wide feet, but I put them on and walked around the house and almost immediately forgot I was wearing shoes showing me that they were very comfortable.
