"This is definitely my shoe maker of choice. I work in a downtown area and have about a 15 minute walk into work. Durability and style are tops on my list when making shoe decisions. I do not want a stylish shoe that will break down on me after a month or two. This shoe meets both of those standards. Great style always get compliments. I would say that the shoe takes a bit of time to break in. Be patient. Limit how often you wear them at first and after a few weeks they will be perfect. I am on my 3rd pair and would recommend even with the time it takes to break them in.
I have two other pair and both have held up for over a year. No re-sole-ing required. For the price I have not seen better value."
