Comfortable shoe, but it creaked constantly all day the second day when I wore a thick cotton sock them. Today, I gave it another try with a thinner polyester dress sock about medium weight.  The shoes did not make any  obnoxious creaking noise with the thinner sock, so be aware that may be an issue with thicker cotton socks.  I'm keeping the shoes but,  I'm a little disappointed that I am limited to what socks that I can wear with the shoe. That being said, the shoe is comfortable and  though it's a casual shoe, it's dressy enough to get by wearing it to work with a shirt and tie.
