Bought these shoes for my husband. When he wears them it's for a fairly active 10-12 hour day. According to him the shoes comfort and wear are "ok." They are a good looking shoe, but obviously they need to be comfortable. If you just need a good looking pair of shoes for a special occasion - these would work well. However, for someone who is on his feet for very long days - 5 days a week "okay" may not work for you.
