Advantages: Shoes look very stylish and are quite comfortable. I bought the wide version of the shoe which was perfect for my foot (although the shoe was still a bit longer than expected). The insoles are nice (especially if you choose to wear them without socks). Cons: Nothing bad to say about them. I have a standing desk at work and I can comfortably carry it standing half the day. GRAD: The shoes started falling apart completely! As you can see from the photos, the bottom of the boot is completely worn (now my foot gets wet when it rains outside). With other shoes, the soles break. I only bought these shoes 8 months ago. I wear them probably 4 days a week. But I've never had a pair of shoes fall apart so quickly. In comparison, my previous pair of bass moccasins lasted almost 3 years with the same use. So I would strongly caution you against this shoe unless you plan to only wear it on rare occasions.
