These shoes look much nicer than I anticipated. They are a discontinued model and I only paid $70 but they look just as nice as the newer $200 model that I tried on at a store. I wear them to work which is a dress casual atmosphere. I usually pair them with Dockers and a dress shirt and people rarely notice that I'm wearing "unusual" shoes. They look like normal nice dress shoes. They appear to be well constructed with quality leather. I assume that the uppers will last a very long time. Walking in these shoes takes a couple of weeks to get used to. However, now it feels strange to walk in regular shoes. The MBT's mainly keep you off your heels which is why I bought them. I suffer from Plantar Fasciitis and some people mentioned that these shoes aliviate pain from that condition. They are definitely  making my feet feel better. After just 3 weeks my PF pain is almost gone and I plan to continue wearing them even once I'm better.  My only complaint is that my feet get a little warm while wearing them. Now that I bought my first pair at a discount I would gladly by another pair at a higher price.
