It's the first time I ever had a flight attendant stop me on the way out of the plane to tell me I had "snazzy sneakers."  They do look good without being too in-your-face full of neon colors.  I bought these to take on a vacation where I was going to do a lot of walking - probably 30 miles in a week - on city sidewalks and streets.  First time I ever bought sneakers online, too, so a bit risky.  But they were great for the trip: lightweight, easy breathing, good traction, and comfortable to wear for all that walking, even fresh out of the box. I took the advice of other reviewers and bought a half-size larger than I usually do, and they fit very well.

Here's the only thing I'm a little concerned with.  After just a couple of weeks of wearing them, I'm surprised by the amount of wear on the soles.  Some of the treads have worn down so there's just smooth rubber showing.  So far this hasn't impacted the great fit and feel of the shoes, but it makes me wonder if they might not last as long as other sneakers I've owned.  But based on the first two weeks of heavy usage, I'd highly recommend these sneakers.
