I guess these are just about the best shoes I've ever owned.  Maybe not the best looking, they are just so-so in that regard.  But they are extremely comfortable and supportive over a long period of time, and that's what matters most.  I work in an office but I am on my feet a lot, and I tend to get some mild Plantar Fascitis if I don't wear shoes with good arch support; the PF has been non-existent since owning these.  The shoes also spiff up nicely with some basic brown shoe polish.  I was a little surprised to search my AMZ orders and discover I originally purchased these February 2016, so I've probably worn these an average of 15-20 days a month for 2.5 years.  I know I've had them a while, but I didn't know it was that long.  The arch support is finally starting to falter just a little bit and they are getting a little rough around the toes, so I am going to order another pair of the exact same thing.
