I agree. They look good for anything short of really dressy occasions where the brown color and the thick rubbery soles would be out of place.

I have had mixed luck with shoes like these. Some are good, hardwearing shoes that get worn a hundred times a year or more. but others will turn out to fit badly or to come apart quickly. My worst experience has been with "blown rubber" shoes that suddenly disintegrate. I am told it comes from age or exposure to heat, but I have had two or three pairs just crumble. The parts that deteriorate are apparently the parts you attach a new sole to, so the upper is pretty much useless.

But back for a minute to the shoes you showed us- if you can get that same leather and that same sole in a plainer shoe- one with no toe cap, it might be even better. Please let us know if you get them.
