I owned this very pair of shoes in high school for three weeks, before a friend that admired them so much bought them literally off my feet. They were one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I had ever owned. And I absolutely loved the style, the silver bird emblem, and the durability of these shoes.<br /><br />So glad to see that nothing has changed, as I was thrilled to find them on Amazon, ten years later. These shoes are awesome.
