They aren't the best shoes. However, for the price, they are quite good shoes. They've lasted me through the winter so far. They scuff floors quite easily. They laces on mine have worn out pretty fast, but it's not too hard to just get new shoelaces. Also, it did have quite a strong chemical odor when I first got them. But, I just put some dryer sheets in them and let them air out outside for a couple of days, and it was fine.
