I liked the look of these shoes and figured that they were worth a try for $35. Turns out I liked them so much I bought a second pair in a different color. Here's why:These shoes are quite stylish. I think they look even better in person than online. I've gotten several compliments. I don't think I've ever gotten compliments on my work shoes before.These shoes are also very comfortable, which is even more important to me. I was previously wearing Nunn Bush dress shoes with really expensive inserts. These are so much more comfortable that I don't need or want to put inserts in them.I can't speak to the durability of these shoes yet because I've only been wearing them for two weeks. However, they appear to be made well.
