Love these shoes. It is rare for me to go a day without getting several compliments on how these shoes look. In fact, it's common for me to get several positive comments each time I wear them. I like to wear the cognac colored shoes with light grey or navy pants and the look is fantastic.

For what it's worth, I don't wear these shoes every day, so they have stayed in fairly good looking condition for probably longer than if I wore them every single day. The light color in the soles really helps to 'pop' the overall appearance of these shoes. They also have a nice shine that completes the look when wearing a suit.

These shoes are comfortable... I have a standing desk and I can wear these shoes an entire day without a problem. They also seem to be wearing well and have broken in well over time. I don't think it took an excessive amount of time to break them in, nor do I think they broke in overnight. I would say it was a standard break-in period.

In closing, I definitely would recommend these shoes... in fact, I just ordered these same shoes in black as well, so now I have them in both cognac and black.
