I deducted two entire stars from this shoe review for one simple reason: durability of the soles. I'm not sure why they decided to skimp on this aspect, but it makes a solid and affordable product a total wallet drain since you have to buy a new pair very often. Some of you might be wondering: "this guy probably drags his feet all the time". Not true; I have never had this issue with other shows.

PROS:
+ Incredibly comfortable...nothing else comes close.
+ In the right colors, very attractive and clean looking.
+ Suede is decent for a cheap sneaker (not sure if it's real or faux) as long as you take care of it (water proof it, and brush it when it's dirty).
+ Solid upper shoe construction and (as mentioned) decent materials used.

CONS:
- Claims to be genuine leather, but this is questionable, especially the non-suede colors/editions of this shoe (I own both types).
- Soles are AWFUL. Visible wearing of the soles after only 5 wears. After 2 months of moderate use (~3 times a week), soles are completely worn through on the ball area of the foot and any wet surface will be felt (moisture intrudes  into the shoe once the sole is worn through).

In Summary, I would easily pay double what this shoe costs if it means a durable sole. Dropping 50 bucks every 2 months is not what I plan to do with my money.
