i've had them all and kostons were my favorite, but they tear up a bit fast. the toe on the carrolls is too round for my liking, i like the more pointed toe ones. the mj are way too thin around the ankle and side pannel area, the howards are nicer padded version of the mj, the codas are a little odd fitting and the belmonts hurt your toes.
these are all teh negetive points, but other than that they are one sick line of shoes
