I love these shoes.  I have several pair but $57 is a little pricey for a Ked I think.  So, I look for good sales on these and try never to pay over $35 at the most.  I have worn a pair completely out and wound up wearing them for gardening work.  The others I wear to work on casual Fridays and when I go shopping.  I also wear them around the house on weekends.  I have a special brush to keep them clean but most of the time I really don't worry about it.  I've bought a couple of pair and saved them back so I'll have them after I retire.  Love them!!
