I like this shoe.  I did have to re-lace the shoes, as the lacing it came with seemed backwards to me and was very difficult to tighten.  The shoes do NOT scuff as easily as I feared, so that is a big plus.  They are doing very well with some hard wear once a week.  I bought them a bit big, and they started off fitting about like I expected (I like to get as much wear as possible from the 'good' shoes).

I'd definitely get these in a larger size when the time comes.
