"I was looking for a plain WHITE pair of sneakers and they are very hard to find. I finally found this pair and bought them about a year ago. This summer I wore them on three very long trips. I hiked and did a lot of walking. They were soooo comfortable and lasted really well under the heavy use. When I got home from my last trip I just had to buy another pair. They don't slip when you walk and can be worn with or without socks and still be comfortable!"
