I wear these shoes all the time. After you put this shoe on, the rest of shoes will not feel right. This is a true hybrid walking/working shoe. Try a five or six mile walk in these. You will have no problem. They are super durable. I bought the black and the brown and fine that all my other shoes just stay in closet. Pricy...but so comfortable and durable and look good in all situations that do not call for a business suit.
