These feel probably like the orthopedic shoes that old people wear, that want to feel like they are walking on pillows.  The mushy feeling is unorthodox.<br /><br />I also am buying brown shoelaces to replace the tan ones, which I feel stand out more than I want.  Otherwise, the shoe looks good.<br /><br />Overall, I bought $50 shoes, and kind of wish I bought $100 shoes.  But they will work until I get something else in a year or so.
