I also appreciate the off-white color, which goes well with the warmer, saturated tones in my wardrobe, and looks great with a pair of simple blue jeans. Plus, unlike stark white, they won’t show every smudge and stain that city life often wrecks on white shoes. The rubber outsoles come in a slightly deeper caramel – a big plus when it comes to making scruff marks look less obvious. The only area where I would deduct some points is that the shoes aren’t completely waterproof (probably since they are perforated), but they did fine when I walked around in lighter rain.
