I have been wearing the Encore Bypass, in both gunsmoke and black, for nearly 10 years.  This is an extremely comfortable shoe.  I just ordered another pair of gunsmoke and I am somewhat disappointed.  It is still a comfortable shoe but on this pair the heel of the shoe doesn't come up as high on my feet, both on the sides at my ankles and on the backs of my feet, as my current pair.  This means the back of the shoe moves up and down more as I walk.  I probably can get used to the movement and the feeling of less shoe at the back but the version I already have is preferable.  All in all a comfortable and well made shoe.
