This is a repeat purchase of this specific shoe design.  I wore these at work for the last several years before I retired.  Now that I'm retired, I don't wear them as much, but they are a very comfortable semi-dress shoe that I mostly wear to church and Toastmasters.meetings.  The leather is soft for comfort, but durable for a minor amount of abuse.  In our wet Oregon climate, these hold up well with a moderate amount of shoe polish.  The single-piece sole is also great for our wet climate.
