The price is attractive and the brand a well-established, medium-grade shoe (made, of course, in China).  Seen "in person" the shoes are a trifle less stylish and more conservative than Amazon's representation might suggest (perhaps a selling point for some more conservative dressers).  Unlike the leather heels of many Italian and Spanish brands, these are moderately soft rubber, making them acceptable for outdoor winter use, walking on a treadmill, mounting the attic or basement stairs, etc.  Ventilation isn't especially noticeable, potentially a problem for sweaty feet.  The most annoying feature, to my mind, is that the inner soles are not sock-friendly,  My toes simply refuse to "slip into" this "Slip-On" shoe.  On the other hand, I'm so unaccustomed to feeling--the instant upon making contact with the shoe's interior--that my toe is velcroed to the sole, that it's at once a challenge to explain the phenomenon and to navigate my toe to its proper position in the prow of the shoe.

Even at this price it should be no surprise that I prefer my Donald J. Pliner's.
