Finally, a comfy black sneaker, that doesn't have a ton of color in it.  The entire process, from Amazon, was great.  Shipped on time, since I needed them asap (ordered via 2 day shipping).  They were on my door step as promised with no packaging issues.  They were completely new in box and ready to use.  The only reason this item didn't get a 5 was for sizing.  Ordered an 8.5, since I'm a true 8.5, however, the toe box is slightly wider than narrow (orderd medium width).  It's an easy fix though. Heavier, rather than thinner socks are in order.  Still a comfy sneaker.
