I like the style -- they're a little different due to the color of the sole. They also feel solidly constructed. They're a little tight across the widest part of my foot. I'd recently chosen another shoe that I was ready to exchange until I tried a half size larger and found it way too large, so with this shoe, I stuck with the size I'd selected. I think I just have a foot that's a bit between sizes and if this pair stretches just a little through wear, they'll be fine.
