These are good looking, comfortable shoes.  The lacing on the back adds interest, and the sole doesn't look nearly as funky when the shoe is on your foot as it does in the picture.  The one thing the designer definitely did wrong is to put a small suede inset on the lower back of the shoe, right where it gets dinged the most.  I'm guessing the rest of the shoe will still look new when the backs are getting really tired looking.  Because of that one issue, I cannot recommend these if you might drive in them.
