"I am on my feet all day on a concrete floor and must dress at least business casual for my job, so I am always on the hunt for dress shoes that are comfortable but not too clunky looking. These shoes have very cushy insoles with decent arch support (been wearing them for about 2 weeks and so far so good). The sole has a slightly rounded heel and more traction than the average dress shoe. Yet, they avoid the squarish toe or moccasin look that so many casual dress shoes have. Simple, sleek black plain oxford with a narrow-ish rounded toe. Slight leather texture to the uppers make them a bit too casual for a suit but nice with chinos. 4 stars only because they have a suede-like section on the back of the heel, which I don't care for."
