I now own about seven pairs of these shoes, in varous states of wearfrom decrepit (several years old and great for yard work and knocking about)to a brand new pair that my wife likes well enough to let me accompany her while wearing them. These shoes are fabulous. Comfortable, long wearing and good-looking. Great with jeans, khakis or shorts, you can walk all day in them and your feet feel fine. Wore them on a 12-day walking tour in Northern Europe last year and they were wonderful.
