I encouraged some friends of mine to buy this shoe. Both are extremely happy with them. These shoes are comfortable and as they say "make them feel secure wherever they step". I discovered these shoes in Germany. So happy I can buy them for the men in my family on amazon. If you have to walk and do not want the fear of slipping on polished tile or slick surfaces these are the shoes. But here's the real deal, they look professional and very nice. You can wear them with a suit or casual. Most shoes for men can't do both. You don't want a "tennis shoe" or casual walking shoe, but you deserve the comfort and security...these are your shoes. I buy them for every man in the family and they love me for it. They fit true to size and my guys prefer the lace up, but still love their pull ons. My dudes are picky and the shopping for shoes has been tough, but I have found my security blanket brand. Besides, if for some insane reason they don't like them it's easy to return for credit. They are sold at high end stores here, but you can't find all the styles since they are Italian made.
