After three trips to Australia, I finally broke down and bought a pair. I like the matching yellow on the soul and sides. I live in a four-season climate and I travel a lot. I like these because most people know what they are, a shoe that can transcend the trail and the boardroom. I also like the fact it took several months of wear before they began to feel broken in. Some might see this as a negative but I do not. I like things that last, and most shoes that require a good break-in period tend to be around for the long haul. The slip-on, slip-off is essential and makes air travel that much easier. I imagine having these for at least a decade.
