These arrived yesterday and I was impressed and delighted. Light enough to be comfortable for a full day's wear (my definition of comfortable meaning: I can completely forget that they're there) but they also feel like they are made with quality materials that will last. These were on my Christmas list and I got them twice over, but have no intention of exchanging the extra pair. A back up of a favorite like this is always good to have. Thanks, En Route and Ashley! The design somehow manages to be both classic and original and I couldn't be happier with them. I intend to wear them till I'm old and grey.
