My thoughts concerning shoes - especially dress shoes - have ranged from utter apathy to the sort of loathing sensible people have for pumpkin flavored beer. Then I got my first pair of these.
To make a long story short, I managed to get wet paint on my only pair and after finding these in stock, I ordered 2 pairs without a second thought. The material used for the majority of the shoe is light and above all, flexible. It does not crease, it does not dig into the foot or heal when walking as many other types formal footwear do because how dare you have the audacity to do this thing called "walking".
I sincerely hope Mark Nason either keeps making these or at the very least, something very much like them. For me, even business casual attire is something I begrudgingly tolerate and replace when worn out yet, I specifically sought these shoes, bought 2 pair and I leave this review in the sincere hope that the MN will will not abandon this design direction.
