I am rating this model as average to be fair compared to other options. This shoe is absolutely worth the price I paid for it; but the overall quality cannot be compared to Rockport or Clarkes. The texture of the leather is good, the soles are very light (to the point of plasticity), the profile is not deep. The overall comfort provided by the padding cannot be compared to larger and more expensive brands. But it's absolutely worth what I paid for it, probably worth more than I paid for it. I use them for work but I'm not on my feet that much. The appearance has remained good after more than two months of use and I have not had to polish or polish them yet.
