I don't usually like writing reviews but these shoes are worth it.  I read many reviews about how comfortable these shoes were so I decided to give them a try.  They are fairly inexpensive so I felt that if I didn't like them after wearing them for a while, it wouldn't be like it would hurt my pocket.  Anyway, I was looking for shoes that would look professional but that were very comfortable as I am usually on my feet.  I read that there is a break in period for these shoes but that was not the case for me.  The first day I wore them, I was to be on the go for over 10 hours.  After the day was over, my feet were not sore at all. I was very surprised as I have bought especial shoes that would keep my feet from getting sore before, but they don't usually work for my feet over extended periods of time. These shoes have managed to keep me on feet without having to take many breaks to rest.  They look great with slacks or jeans and they have good traction on the snow as I have yet to fall (I say this as I knock on wood).  Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase and would definitely buy another pair later on.
