Solid, Cool, Comfortable, Classic. More adjectives do not come to mind. The shoes are much nicer at the bottom, as in the picture ... Fit: good, not too wide. Definitely a Halbe to a size more than usual order. I wear 41.5, have ordered 42 and the fit perfectly. Not the lightest sneakers of all time, but I do not like to be close to the ground (:-)). Super delivered quickly, and even reduced. Good shopping!
