text: I got these shoes to be my daily drivers for a summer job. They took about a day and a half to break in fully, but after that they were great. They're very light weight, and the light color allowed them to keep cool all day. Very comfy and surprisingly durable. After a full summer of regular use they still look very nice. The toe box is nice and roomy and the heel offers a surprising amount of support.<br />The only down side (and this is fairly nit-picky) is that the bottoms make that &#34;new shoe squeak&#34; for a *very* long time, and do so fairly frequently, too. My only guess is that because they are a minimalist shoe, they must have made the bottoms more durable as to not wear out too fast, and in doing so, made the squeak prolonged. So, if you don't mind that, these are a very nice pair of shoes.
