I should mention that we were at the park one night during a heavy rain and we continued to ride rides and walk in the rain for a couple of hours during which time the shoes got soaked. Be warned the inconvenience. Does not feel flimsy at all. I bought these for work as a server and every other pair I’ve ever had it work shoes coming From Shoes for Crews have been overpriced and uncomfortable. Most of my eccos have a white band around the sole and those get dirty fast. Easy to assemble and install and very sturdy. Overall very happy with the Gatco Elevate line! I found a way around this. The only reason they get 2 stars is for the week they did last they were relatively comfortable. It may be that it is a stylistic idea (shoe trend or "look") but the design and materials are not ready for real-world use.
