I got these shoes for a trip to handle walking on cobblestone streets in the day and for slightly more formal evening wear.  They are great for a day on pavement and acceptable for business casual situations. I ordered a half size larger than usual and it paid off when walking up and down hills.

The only negative is that after a few days of wear the black dye came off the stitching and cut edges of some of the leather sections resulting in an odd white outlining effect.  Applying black heel and shoe dye restored the original appearance but customers should expect have to do this regularly.
