When I wrote the following, everything was great! Since then, the stitching on the upper has unraveled and I've had to go to a local shoe repair shop to wear them. Not satisfied: great color and fit. Looks very elegant with shorts or pants. I need good arch support and they offer very good comfort throughout the day. The rubber outsole provides extra traction, which is important at my age when climbing stairs or going down. I love these dockers!
