I purchased the black version of these a couple years ago, and was extremely impressed by the comfort and durability, that I just purchased a pair of the brown ones as well.  I usually try to stay under $100 for shoes, even for work, so the $150 was hard to swallow the first pair I bought.  But they've more than paid for themselves.  The first pair I bought still look very good!

Just a note, I usually wear ~11.5US (I have slightly wider feet).  The size 11 in these fit me perfectly.

I have worn these with cotton socks, and they work well, but I've also recently started wearing wool or synthetic socks (even in the summer), and it made my show experience even better.

You won't be disappointed in these!
