First, let me say I really like the look of these shoes. They are clearly a very well-made product from quality materials; they are also that rare shoe that doesn't feel like it needs to be "broken in". What prevents me from giving them a five star review is the weight of them.  My feet tend to "go to sleep" relatively quickly when wearing these shoes which I attribute in large part to their weight.  This is especially dangerous then when standing up and trying to walk in them; I have twisted my ankle twice now in 6 weeks with them on.  I take ownership of my own clumsiness but I also believe that the weight of the shoes made the sprains more significant because my foot/ankle was less inclined to flex, thus magnifying the twisting action.  One might also want to keep in mind if you plan to travel with these shoes in carryon luggage in particular, it will make your bag that much heavier.
