I just wanted to give my 2 cents on this new product to some and more familiar to guys like me. That means seasoned :-), So, I have owned "Drivers" for long time. I am talking; during the time that they went from shoes that a race car driver, Emerson Fitipaldi, The dashing Brazilian, exited his personal vehicle in the 90's, but, I digress; I have owned and do own some very high end drivers. I purchased them several reasons. They were very very comfortable! Yes, they are very stylish, well made and, well, FLY AS HELL, but most of all they are comfortable! The JR is well made-vulcanized rubber with some sort of memory foam which holds up all day and that helps to keep your toes from scuffing. Great shoe! I could have purchased 8 of them at comparable previous units. Dollar for dollar, I am satisfied! To think; you do not need Emersons McLaren to pull it off! Uncle L
