First I want to address something most reviewers seem to miss, the sole. This shoe has a rubber sole that mimics a dress sole. This seems to be a good compromise. Personally I've never understood the fascination with the leather sole nor do I really care what it looks like. A sole should be reasonably slip resistant and promote comfort. This one does both.

I found the sizing to be a bit snug so if you are debating on two sizes go for the larger. The leather will break in and fit fine after a day however so don't fear. After that I found the shoes to be very comfortable. The cushioning is good for a dressy shoe as well and these aren't loud like many dress boots. I for one don't care to sound like a horse when I walk down the hallway but I understand that some do.
