I've been wearing these shoes for years and not only are they the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn, they also look very stylish. Use a shoehorn and the upper will last forever. I can walk for miles without feeling any discomfort. These shoes are the best. They were on sale for less than half this time, so I stocked up and bought a few pairs. I also have to mention the seller I bought them from at Revain, Peltz shoes which are absolutely top notch clothing. If you ever have a choice of vendors and see the Peltz name, buy shoes from them and you won't regret it.
