These were exactly what I expected.  They are very comfortable, however, beware there is little arch support. Therefore they not be as good for long walking or running, but othewise are very comfortable. Also I got them for summer wear with shorts. I figured the black would go with most items.  Also they will be cooler than the Chuck Taylor high tops for spring and summer.  The order was received on time and as expected. The price through Amazon was very good when taking into account the shipping charges. Also I was only to able to find the size I wanted through Amazon.com.
