This is a  good buy. I needed a sneakers for work just for two weeks of usage and maybe use it around the yard thereafter. Note my cons:<br />1. The mesh over the toes isn't water resistant. The smallest drop of water can be felt.<br />2. The grip to the ground isn't great especially on wet surfaces. (Maybe, I need to break-it-in further.)<br />3. LISTEN TO THE OTHER REVIEWS AND BUY A SIZE HIGHER  (.5) OR MORE DEPENDING ON THE CLOSENESS YOU DESIRE.
