I was looking for an everyday shoe that was a bit more classy and element-proof than the canvas sneakers I was rocking. I decided to upgrade to these and I am very happy with my decision! The leather was naturally a bit stiff at first but I've been wearing them almost everyday for two weeks - the leather is starting to wear in around my foot, as is the crepe sole. They are only getting more comfortable.

A few things to consider -- the pale crepe turns black very quickly, and the leather around the ankle can rub a bit; I am in the process of swapping out my low socks for crew cut to prevent any chafing. They also might run a bit roomy... I wear anything from a 5.5 to a 7, usually a 6.5, and these fit well in a 6.
