I've got them in all-white and I can say they are very well made, comfortable, and offer a lot of foot support. Not sure I'm crazy about that color though....

Very glad to hear you like yours. I have all white Purcells and some mostly white Nike's and Addidas', the color on these shoes is what drew me to them.

Thats a great colourway, seems almost like a nod to the usual colours of boots & shoes.

I returned my PFs to Zappos last summer. They're insubstantial feeling, like low-top chucks with a slightly nicer look. I recommend canvas Purcells over these.

I've got canvas Purcells too. They're comfortable, not the best but still nice. I think the PF's would be comparable.

I find the Purcells much more substantial and much more comfortable than the Flyers.

Those are better than the blue ones, but the brown/tan ones are better than both.
