I re-ordered two new pairs of this shoe, going up a size from what I'd worn in other shoes for years (had to move up to an 11 2E from a usual of 10 EE). So far, so...well, we'll see.

The Good:
* VERY orthotics friendly. Plenty of room after replacing the removable factory insole with my custom arch supports.
* Comfortable fit; a bit stiff at first, but good after a short break-in period. Not too loose or too tight, my bugaboo about the inaccurate sizing aside.
* Good style
* Good waterproofing

The Bad:
* Slip resistance is pathetic. C'mon guys, these are marketed as waterproof shoes. Your feet stay dry in the rain, but on wet pebble-aggregate pavement or a tile floor when coming out of the rain it's nearly like walking on glare ice. This is a running gripe I have about casual shoes, but I work in downtown Seattle, so 'nuff said.
* The SQUEAKING! For some reason, the right shoe of BOTH of my new pairs of 8000's squeak when I walk in them. The brown pair, not too terrible. The black pair...well, it sounds similar to Donald Duck being kicked in the crotch.

My recent purchases of three pairs of Dunham shoes is frankly a crapshoot. Several years back I purchased a pair of Dunham hiking shoes that wound up being worn in very light-duty conditions (I work in an office)...nonetheless, the soles started delaminating within 6 months, and eventually shed from the uppers entirely in about a year. If anything like that happens again, I'll revise my Amazon reviews of my Dunham purchases.
