Vlado Footwear Men's Aristocrat 2 Leather Sneaker

Aesthetic:5/5. No surprises. Exactly as pictured. They look good and nothing appeared significantly different than the posted product photo. Sleek and good looking shoe. What you buy is what you get!Durability 5/5: While I cannot speak on them long term as the purchase was recent I can say the shoes did not initially feel in any way cheap or like they would fall apart anytime soon. Feels like solid and good construction. For $70-$100 I have confidence they will be fine for general walking about and daily shoe usage. Any shoe will obviously wear down over extended usage or if strained so as long as you’re not doing continuous roundhouse kicks to a wall I can’t foresee any issues.Comfort 5/5: Fit pretty snug. As the picture dictates this shoe does NOT have shoe laces. There are 3 Velcro snaps in its place which can be pulled slightly to tighten which work pretty well. I have had no slippage yet and the Velcro both snaps and hold snug so far.Delivery 5/5: Ordered on a Friday and it came on a Monday night. Ahead of schedule as I had picked the default shipping for this order. Package arrived undamaged with a Vlados box lined with tissue paper. Nothing was worn down, scraped, or otherwise out of place. No knowledge of how the other shipping options fare but would expect them to be according to dictated.Verdict: 5/5

What is there not to say about how incredibly totally awesome these shoes are? I mean, cmon, look at them. First of all, they are SOLID and extremely well made. A definite merit to the price tag which on it's own is inexpensive for the sheer fabulosity of this product(yes I made up that word just now). These things simply look like someone dropped them through a time portal from a hundred years in the future. Marty McFly's self lacing shoes got nothing on these. When I first pulled them out of the box they came in, I expected to find some sort of antigravity device integrated into the soles, but to my dismay I couldn't find any evidence of the such. In due time perhaps if I click my heels in a certain sequence by accident, I'll find myself soaring through the skies as I should be with such spectacular looking apparel. If you are wondering, the straps are velcro which make them easy to take on and off. But I find only the top two straps need to be undone to comfortably pull them off or put them on. All comedy aside, I highly recommend these shoes and offer my props to the manufacturers and distributors. I ordered without expedited shipping but got them in three days. Thanks for these great kicks.
