I bought a cheaper pair of Florsheims about a year ago and loved them, but really missed the comfort of the Riva. Now the only complaint I have is with myself that this isn't the first time I've ordered them. The day I got them they were more comfortable than the cheaper pair I had broken in for a year. Comfort insole (I think that's what they call it) insole, soft leather and rubber soles make a very comfortable pair. Shoes. Mine see action 5 days a week and I couldn't be happier
