Very picky when choosing shoes, they should be comfortable, affordable and stylish. Standing and walking are a must for me when wearing them. Didn't manage to break them in as I ordered them at the last minute after doing a lot of research on dress shoes. No problem, they fit as expected, very comfortable to walk in, stand all day. No tired feet at the end of the day and I feel like they only get better with a few miles on them. Very happy with my purchase.
