"I got these to fill a wardrobe gap: a shoe that can be worn for dressier casual and with a suit, for multi-purpose on travel. It fits well, looks good and suits that purpose. However, the sole is somewhat rubbery, and my feet were killing me after a day on a convention hall floor. I noticed a number of the attendees were wearing the Cole Haan Air Hughes - my next purchase. These are fine for a night out, but I'll replace with something more robust."
