So I constantly am buying new shoes trying to force myself to dress like a grown-up just to always end up back in my old worn down pair of Chucks.  But then! I found these Australian gems and actually wear them all the time.  They're quite comfortable, look great with jeans, and have held up extremely well.  I've had mine a good 9 months or so and not a single hole in the canvas or sole which is promising.  I get compliments on them all the time too (which I find odd for such simple shoes but whatever I'll take it).  Just a note, the size listed first (on the drop down option) is the UK size so make sure you're buying the right size in US (a size bigger than the UK size, e.g. UK 10 is a US 11) and they don't offer half sizes, although I normally wear a 10.5 and find an 11 to be totally fine with these.  Pick up a pair, they're worth it!
