"The idea of a sneaker sole (Nike) inside a dress shoe is ingenious and these shoes combine them perfectly. I have a sit/stand desk at work and most of the other shoes I've tried start to give me foot or back pain after standing for a few hours. When I started wearing these shoes I went 3/4 of the day standing and didn't even notice! They are also very comfortable to walk in and look extremely stylish as well. I'll probably end up picking one up in both colors."
