Florsheim: PROS: Shoes last 8+ hours a day, 5 days a week with regular use. They're comfortable, a bit roomy, and fit orthopedic insoles if you use them. CONS: I once had a pair of Flors for FIFTEEN YEARS - the sole is rubber, the stitching is average and they're not up to the standard they once were. I would put them on par with BOSTON in terms of durability. I don't expect them to last more than 1-1.5 years before the rubber separates from the upper like all my other shoes. I bought them because they were 50% cheaper.
