I'm at the point where comfort outweighs style but I still like to look good.  I love the way these feel.  Lightweight, with a very effective built in cushioing system the shoes are extremely comfortable but they are very shiny, bordering on patent leather looking, at least to my eye.  In terms of their shape, they are fine.  Contemporary and good looking but the finish of the leather itself makes it look almost like pleather.  My wife tells me I'm exaggerating but it's the way i see it.  As i say, comfort rules for me so i've decided to overlook the shininess issue but if you prefer a "matte" type finish these might not be for you.  They run true to size.
