I wear them when I travel because they are easy to put on and take off after security at the airport. This is the second pair of shoes of this type that I have bought. The first lasted 4 years, the last two years 4 days a week. The sole is obviously worn, but the upper is in good condition. The insole is comfortable for walking and moderate standing/sitting during the day. Shoes are well constructed and if kept clean and polished they will last a long time. They are really big for their size and have a lot of room, which for me adds to the comfort. I usually wear a size 10 and my last pair was a 9.5 and I was comfortable. My son who normally wears 11.5M has a 10W pair that fit him very well. Note that unlike other online shoe retailers, the seller charges $7.99 for returning the shoes (Standard Shipping).
