For a $30 pair of shoes, they are fine. They are stylish, decent quality, comfortable and affordable. However, you are not going to fool anyone into thinking they are expensive designer shoes. The heal and sole are a rubbery looking plastic, but the "leather" is an acceptable representation and seems durable. I walked five miles in them at work for eight hours upon the first wearing, and they were just as comfortable as my $150 shoes. Dont wear these to impress, but if its all you can afford to spend on a pair of dress shoes that you rarely wear, go for it. As much as I like them, I probably wouldnt buy another pair just because the heal design looks so cheap and ruins the overall dress shoe look. These are my bad weather day shoes so I dont stress out over destroying an expensive pair, but can still look put together with a passing grade. Three month update: Ive been wearing these shoes on non-bad weather days because they are so comfortable. The synthetic leather is not hot or uncomfortable, not cracking or tearing at all like you would expect from inexpensive, essentially plastic footwear. It is even wrinkling nicely like real leather shoes. These have probably 150 miles on them and the sole is just now starting to show wear. Still dislike the look of the sole, however it is durable. No seam separation or other signs of distressing. Still would not wear them to an important event to protect my"brand" image. Never needed polishing. Just a quick wipe with a damp paper towel even removes scuff marks. Amazing!
