These are, without question, the most comfortable
shoe's I've ever worn! Initially, the left sneaker seemed to make a loud squeaking noise, but eventually stopped. The sneakers have a great classic retro look. My teenage son even thought they look cool. Not much ventilation, and I can tell that my feet would probably get pretty warm wearing them on hot summer days. Working in NYC, I do a lot of walking, so with my first real break-in in these, I walked about 4 miles, and I must say, these are incredibly comfortable, and felt as if I could've literally walked all day. That never happens! I thought that these were rather expensive for sneakers, but after having walked miles in them, the price is definitely worth it. I have wide feet, and typically wear a 10 1/2, so I got a size 11. When I got them, I had to loosen the laces to widen the shoe, but there is stretch, so I ended up having to tighten the laces again. They feel perfect now.
