First off, these are my favorite dress shoes that I've ever worn. They're extremely comfortable and can be worn all day without foot pain. I liked them so much that I bought them in 4 colors.

However, they wear like a cheap shoe. I wore through my first black pair in 5 months. I sit most of the day and wear them 2-3 times a week. The soles wore through and the metal nails were exposed on the heel, causing a loud "clack" when I walked. So, I bought a second black replacement pair. I made a conscience effort to walk the long way around the office to stay on the carpet, as opposed to the hard flooring. The same wear occurred after a couple of months. I took them to a cobbler (remember the 'favorite shoe ever' detail) and was told that they weren't worth trying to fix due to the quality.

After walking through through my third pair and have switched to Naturalizer, who carries a very similar style. I love these shoes but can't see replacing them every few months at their current price.
