The thin soles of these shoes concerned me at first.  I wasn't sure how comfortable they would be or how long the soles would last.  Well after about two years I can report that the soles are holding up just fine.  They are thin (you will look shorter), and flexible - without much padding.

That said, the shoe looks great and is aging well overall.  The brown leather gets scuffed up fairly easily and should be oiled to keep looking good.  I would definitely recommend this shoe.
