In my opinion this is the best shoe ever made.  I know that is saying a lot.  This is my 3rd pair.  The first two pairs lasted me 10 years each.  They are super comfortable with great support.  Waterproof and the design works for casual,  and semi-formal business environments.  I used to run a manufacturing company and I would wear them in the office on the shop floor, trade shows and sales calls.  I see Dr.s and Dentist wear these because of the comfort and support while on their feet all day.  They are expensive but if they last me 10 years that's $22/year.  I replace my $50 sneakers every year.  I do not typically buy expensive clothes, but in the long run these are not expensive for the quality, support and comfort..
