I bought these because i'm a Marine stationed on an amphibious assault ship and had to move from one berthing to another, and ended up losing my only pair of civilian shoes i brought with me. I wasn't about to go to my next port wearing my issued boots out in town everyday, so I bought the cheapest pair of decent looking shoes I could find with the hopes they would make it to me on time (despite me being on the other side of the world)
I was impressed, the shoes got here today with still a week until I get to port, so the shipping was great. The box was definately no-frills, but thats fine, but overall they are a decently made shoe that look decent. Decent, thats the word that comes to mind. I wouldn't wear these out to a club or try to impress anyone with these, but if your looking for a cheap shoe that gets the job done, the Starbury is good to go.
