These shoes are somewhat comfortable.  I would say the quality is not the best.  There is one shoe lace holder made out of a strap.  This strap is very poorly connected to the shoe.  I had one bust the first time I put on the shoe while I was trying to tighten the laces, and another bust on the other shoe like the 3rd or 4th time I wore them.  I didn't pay a ton for these shoes, so I'm not that worried about it.  However, these are definitely not quality shoes for the list price.
