......and Type II diabetic, so comfortable shoes are very important to me. Recent purchase, only had them a week, but so far so good. Very light and comfortable, stylish, easy on the feet, but the eyelets are cloth appendages from the sides of the upper. We'll have to see if they hold up or not; you feel like you're going to rip them when you tighten the laces. That is the reason for the 4-star rating....if the eyelets hold up, a 5th star will be warranted as they are both very comfortable and stylish.
