Benefits - Looks good. The most comfortable shoes to wear all day that won't hurt your feet. Cons - Not sure about this pair, which is the third pair. The first pair I had the stitching came undone within a month, I only wear them after work: hence the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. The wife actually sewed them back on and they lasted another 8 months. The woman thought that the thread could rot. When you put these shoes on for the first time, they feel a little tight, but they quickly adjust to your own foot. I'm currently on my 2nd pair and haven't had any problems with thread breakage so far. I wear these shoes all the time. They are supportive and the most comfortable shoes you will ever have. You won't want to wear anything else! Save the 3rd pair for shoes on the way out! Update: The threads don't hold up. It's a shame because these are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I'm just not sure I want to buy a few times every two months.
