These have been my best ever, casual, walking, exercise, work shoe/sneaker/boot! They are immediately comfortable; have been very durable & long lasting; and the nubuck or sueded surface is easy to maintain. They have good traction on snow & ice and are weather tolerant. Size 8.5 is perfect when wearing fall/winter tights; am ordering 9.0 for wearing very thick, woolen, winter socks. My only complaint is that my favorite color, the tan nubuck, has apparently been discontinued. Otherwise, thanks, Skechers!!!
