The looks of the shoes are fine (though I think they look better in the pic).  The fit is good.  The problem is, that I have had the shoe about a month or so, and I wear them very lightly–the seam near the toe is already unraveling and there is almost a hole in the shoe [right where my toes hit].  I am very disappointed in the durability of these shoes.  The shoe strings are also cheaply made and I am quite sure they will break in no time.  The other thing I don't like is (which is my fault perhaps) is that the fluorescent green color of the shoe is difficult to match to clothes (for example, a blue shirt clashes with these shoes). But again, that is my fault [and regret] as I should have thought about the difficulties matching them to clothes.
