I work as a waiter in a fancy New York restaurant and am on my feet for over 10 hours a day. That's why it's so important to me to wear a pair of shoes that combine looks, comfort and durability. I can say without hesitation that these loafers absolutely coped with all of these tasks. Not only do they look really smart, but they also prevent sore feet at the end of the day, which is certainly a very desirable thing in a pair of boots.
