I originally was very impressed with the Samuel Hubbard Founder oxfords, so much that I bought them in two different colors.  I've now been wearing them off and on for 7-8 months and have a little different perspective.  In many ways, I still think they're excellent shoes.  I've received many compliments on their looks.  The materials and construction are outstanding.  What's difficult to reconcile is that the shoes are not as comfortable as they should be, especially after many hours.  They've had ample time to break in and this is still the case.  I don't get it really; the shoes should feel better.  All the elements are there: Soft, supple high quality leather upper, thick cushioned and supportive insoles, full glove leather linings, thick rubber soles.  Yet, after about 5-6 hours, my feet start to hurt in them.  It feels like I'm walking on a cement insole.  I've worn other casual and dress shoes from Allen Edmonds, Ecco, Mephisto, etc. and have not had this problem.  Perhaps I need to substitute a different insole for the ones that came with the shoes.  This might be a problem unique to me, but it's something to think about.  I still like the shoes, but wonder if they'll ever soften up.
