It does seem a little crazy to buy shoes over the internet, but some of us hate non virtual shopping.

These shoes are very very comfortable, they particularly have a nice supportive feeling in the mid foot area, which I have never experienced before in an athletic shoe. For me they were true to size.

I like the color contrast and the fact that they are leather uppers. The only quibble I would have so far (will update if issues arise), is the fact that the leather uppers actually kind of look plastic..maybe they have to put some coating on it to make them more hardy than regular leather?

How they wear over time will indicate to me whether or not the price is justified.
