text: Really good looking shoe, and I like that it's genuine leather instead of plastic, which is what so many sneakers are made out of these days.  Disappointed, though, because there's very little cushioning in the footbed.  It's very thin, and if you step over a pebble, you'll feel it.  I like the Varvatos version of the Chucks because there's a lot more cushioning in the footbed and they're a lot more comfortable than the regular Converse version, but with these sneakers, it's just the opposite.  If you're wearing them for looks, they're great.  But if you're actually planning to spend the day walking in them, not so great.  Also, these run a little small.  Normally, I take a 10.5, but in these I needed an 11.
