The Eliot is a well-built shoe. It is comfortable and feels solid on your foot. I bought this shoe looking for a more comfortable and better made alternative to Chuck Taylor's, and it does not disappoint.I tend to be rough on shoes, so I needed a pair that would stand up to abuse. The first thing I noticed with these shoes is the quality and attention to detail that Macbeth has. In contrast to the haphazard gluing and stitching of Chucks (and almost every other shoe in this price range), the stitching is clean, even, and precise; the canvas is cut and sewn to maintain the knit pattern on each surface of the shoe; and the soles are glued symmetrically to the canvas. My guess is that most folks won't care about this level of detail in how the shoes look, but the symmetry and cleanliness of the construction suggests that these shoes are were designed and made to not fall apart like other canvas shoes.The soles are also very comfortable. I spent a weekend walking for miles in just these shoes and my feet never had a moment of soreness or the feeling of walking on every stone and crack the way Chuck soles do.Yes these are more expensive than Chucks, but the difference is clear the moment you put them on.The shoes also run larger than normal, so order a size smaller than you usually wear -- it will fit perfectly.

 |  | Dear Zappos, I just wanted to send a quick note to tell you that I will be a loyal customer for as long as you exist! I have never once had a bad experience with Zappos.com and have found even returning a product is pain-free. Many people find buying shoes online to be a process that is a hassle based on shipping costs and not getting a chance to see the shoe actually on their foot, but you have done a tremendous job not only making shipping easy, and FREE, but also providing a number of angles for a shoe online so it can best be represented without physically holding it. I have purchased numerous shoes, sandals and boots from Zappos over the years and have never once been disappointed. Most recently, I was upgraded to expedited shipping for free on my most recent purchase, which again pointed out why I love Zappos so much! My educational background is a degree in marketing as well as an MBA focused in strategic management, which makes me extra critical of things like customer service as well as other business functions. Zappos always comes up as my example of companies who are doing things right and charting their own path to success. I recommend your site to people all the time and hopefully they will experience the delight I have come to know as 'the norm' when dealing with Zappos. Thank you to everybody there for their hard work, dedication and emphasis on the customer. It is not going unrecognized and you have me hooked for life! Well done and I look forward to many future purchases! Most Sincerely, Ryan S. |  | ~ Ryan S., October 26 2009
