i bought these because a friend had a pair and said they were really comfortable.  they are very light weight which is a plus.  i will be wearing them around on my vacation to Europe so i will be doing a lot of walking.  i'm excited to try them out.  they are not the greatest looking shoes (that is why i did not give them a 5 star rating) but if they are as comfortable as they look i might get some in other colors.
