"I travel for work, and these are my go-to travel shoes. They're comfortable, very light to pack, clean easily with a damp cloth, and look great with both casual and work clothes. Work in both summer and winter (as long as there's no snow). I just bought my second pair, to keep in reserve for when these wear out. (DSW--please keep these in stock.) Extra bonus: they work well with shoe clips--you can pack one pair of shoes, a couple pairs of shoe clips, and have three different looks. With a fancy clip, you can even get away with them for formal if you don't need a heel. On sizing: I had to size down 1/2 size, and these probably do run a bit narrow in the medium, which works for me. One slight detraction: the rubber heel, which helps to make them comfortable for walking, gets pretty scuffed, although it's not very noticeable."
