Elis,
Very true, but even in this day men's dress shoes and the likes still have a slight heel. I am satisfied with them, and was looking for something with a sort of vintage look to them, which is what I found at DSW.
I'm thinking the boxy front gives the male stylized look toward them, but other than that, its not much but shoes with issues.
Devlyn,
Those shoes are fantastic, and look like a happy pair.
