These shoes look good. They are very conservative in their appearance which is what I wanted. They are used when I need a shoe that is not as athletic in appearance as my ultra pure Vivo shoes. I gave these shoes 3 stars because of the sole construction. The sole is lumpy on the bottom as if there were studs placed in the sole. This makes walking in them for me uncomfortable. They are fine for short distance but apart from that they get uncomfortable. The sole is not as flexible as I have expected from other Vivo shoes and I don't see this shoe as a winner. The top leather construction of this shoe is sensational and it fits in well with  casual clothes, which is what I wanted. They will do for what I need them for but they are not a running or training shoe as the sole is too stiff and has built up traction pads. This is why they get 3 stars.
