I got them in brown.  Comfort is good.  These shoes look like sneakers.

This shoe is slightly longer-shaped than Rockports I've had in the past.  The material at the bottom (the sole) is different that what I've seen. If I rub my hand on it, it gums up like an eraser and produces a little waste that comes off.  That's strange but other than that they seem normal.

The upper material has elastic material in it.  The sole is flexible but not too thin.  This is not the kind of shoe that lasts but it is comfortable.  The upper material is soft and appears to me to be easily scuffed, although I haven't had it long enough to confirm.  The product I'd recommend to keep those scuff marks from being visible is (select "brown" in the drop-down):&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Kiwi-Scuff-Magic-Shoe-Polish-BROWN/dp/B000UDEBNE/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Kiwi Scuff Magic Shoe Polish (BROWN)</a>.
