Well, I generally don't view the brand positively without any particular reason, but this specific shoe caught my eye and I bought it. As for the fit, it was perfect for me. Incredibly comfortable and durable, they have lasted me a year as everyday shoes and for the past 7 months, I've been wearing them to work (construction) and they remain untouched. Truly beasts! If the design, color, and other aspects click with you, get them without hesitation
