I got these on sale for $19. As a pro chef, I love these shoes. Even buy them for my cooks as gifts.  Whereas danskos make my feet feel like hoofs, birks don't last like they used to, and other companys don't fit well... these feel great on my feet.  The only con is the swamp foot I get from them. They make my normally not-too-stinky feet smell bad. Bad as in unrecognizable, who left their corpse foot in my shoe, that cant be me?! kind of smell. I also use a gel heel cup which helps with foot support after long days. However it rubs against the footbed and makes it sound like I fart when I walk. Which im okay with.
