I have been looking for a casual shoe that is not a sneaker and have brought several styles home, only to return them. Finally, I saw these in the sale rack and ordered my size. I've been wearing them a LOT since then. They are a similar style to others I have admired (but are in the $100+ range), but Tom's always keeps the price point reasonable. Plus, like most, they form to your fee as you wear them. I'm very happy.
