These are well made shoes, comfortable yet well supportive for work and walking. These aren't the "Big Five" loafers that break down quickly after heavy use. They also hold up well as work shoes. I'm impressed with their ability to withstand water in the rain, truck washes and morning walks on wet grass. You get wet but my feet stay dry. After a year and a half of intensive use, it is still in perfect condition. Just ordered and received another pair to go out with my lovely wife.
