"I work both as behind a computer as a case manager and also bedside nursing. These shoes are very comfortable, great support, and sturdy. They have incredible traction on a variety of surfaces from pavement to tiled floors at work, and given the New England winter we have had, they are awesome in the snow and ice. The leather is great quality, the stain resistance and water resistance is excellent. I am heavy on my feet daily and the tread has lasted very well and much life still left in them after 4 months of wear now and they still look in really good condition. I can wear with scrubs for work but look great with khakis and dress shirt for my other job. I love the ease of slip on, however, I have flat feet, my only down side is I wish they had a higher, more supportive arch. I am doing well, however, with them and recommend them to all."
