"I can't speak to the durability yet, as I've only got a days wear on them so far, but I expect them to have great durability if they are anything like my other Mercanti's. Like my other Mercanti's these shoes were SO comfortable right out of the box! They look incredible, and are the perfect shoe for bridging the dress-casual gap. Wear them with a suit to make it more casual, or with jeans to dress them up. These shoes aren't the cheapest you will find, but they are still very affordable and well worth the price!"
