A little clop clop, sound with each step, from the shape and hardness of sole (dissipated some with wear but this is a design issue that should have been resolved preproduction at this price point). Aside from that they're the bomb. Wore for the first time to a pro ice hockey game and was quickly complimented by a woman wearing a far more expensive pair of shoes on the way to her seat in my row. With black boot cut Levi's, black slim puffer jacket and a red coldwater creek sweater for the cv firebirds. Thanks KS!
