I'm breakin out the simple pro/con list.

PRO

. Look amazing, which makes you feel amazing!
. After a few uses, the leather breaks in to wrap around your foot.
. The laces are strong and match the color of the fabric stripes well.
. True to size! (If they feel tight on your instep, give them a chance to break in!!!)

CON

. There are areas that the adhesive around the sole was applied sloppily.  Not SUPER noticeable.
. The knobs on the sole look nice, but have no grip on wet ground.
. Don't really breath well... but hey, its leather!

For the price paid, I feel that these shoes are awesome.  I can't really say much about durability because I don't use them daily.  They get use maybe once or twice a week and only when the weather is nice.  They feel like if I keep taking care of them they will last for years.  These are one of the better looking pair of shoes I've ever purchased, and I was prepared to spend more for a less good looking shoe.

EDIT: These became my every day shoe because of the comfort they provide.  Once these things were perfectly broken in, they became the most comfortable show I've ever owned! They still look like new somehow, and any scuffs or marks either come right off or aren't really noticeable.  My only gripe is that while walking on wet sidewalks or parking lots, its like walking on an oil slick.  The knobs on the tread provide minimal to no traction, while they wear away quickly.  All well, when they wear out I will be picking up another pair.
