My son was visiting us and I noticed that he was wearing the same shoes but in black. I casually asked him if the shoes were comfortable. He and his wife looked at me like I was crazy, but my son said these were the most comfortable business shoes he had ever worn. When I had the chance, I took a look at the inside top flap to find out the size. and on the sole for the brand and ordered both black and "whiskey" and shipped it to my house. This must be the first time a mother has bought shoes for her adult son, but he was really happy. These shoes go very well with trousers (highlight style) and look very good with suits on younger men. They have rubber soles which provide good traction and are comfortable to walk on but don't "roll up" as I've noticed on his older pair after a few years of wear.
