I like these shoes (and wish that I had waited longer to buy them now that I see they're marked down considerably from what I paid). I really like the blue stitching; however, it's not quite as pronounced/obvious as it appears in the pictures here. The shoes run a bit large. I had to return two pairs before finally getting the right size for my foot. I typically wear a 10.5, but in these I am wearing a 9.5. Nice quality shoe though and I'm hoping it lasts for quite a long time.
