How are these for slick kicks??? The one time these shoes were worn, nothing but compliments were given! It is a wonderful color combination. The bright orange contrast stitching and the orange laces look fantastic against the field of electric blue suede. The soles are black rubber with teats on the bottom for a no slip grip. They are made in Italy and are extremely comfortable. These look great with jeans and a blazer. One of the toes has a barely noticeable scuff. It's probably not even worth mentioning. It will most likely brush out with a suede brush, but I didn't want to try it. Shoes will arrive as shown in original box with one large dust bag. I include a free set of quality cedar shoe trees with every mens pair of shoes.
