Like other things one buys shoes for a particular purpose. I wanted to have shoes for the journey. Attracting eg in a hotel or car train. They should be easy to have low stowage factor and still look reasonably good. These requirements are met these shoes. One can the rear fabric piece also stepping down and they then use as slippers. Very handy when you temporarily only inside, wants to wear for example in hotel rooms. The shoes are comfortable. I can not comment, because I had only on a (motorcycle) travel with the durability.
