Those double side zippers are the reason I bought these — way easier to get on than lacing up a mid-top every time. The patent panels catch the light without looking cheap, and the rubber sole has held up fine through a few weeks of city walking.

The mix of leather and patent leather gives these a sleek look that works with jeans or chinos. Really comfortable right out of the box, and the rubber sole has great grip.

Didn't expect the side zippers to be this handy — I can slip them on without untying the laces every time. The leather and patent mix looks sharp dressed up or with jeans, and the rubber sole grips well on wet pavement.
