I purchased these shoes to replace the same pair I wore out.  These are my go to shoes for everything, especially commuting, and I wear them all the time.  The former pair got tired and needed to be replaced, but that was after a few years of constant use.  They are made very well.  The style is very comfortable, good looking, and the pewter color goes with everything.  I have black and copper, too.  I love these shoes!!
