I bought these to replace a pair of Timberland shoes of similar construction.  They are very comfortable and are wearing well after several months of use - indeed, they seem to have corrected some of the problems that caused my the Timberlands to wear out prematurely.

One note that may not be apparent if you don't do a close up on the photos - these shoes have a dull, "oiled" appearance, as opposed to a shiny black.  As other reviewers have noted, this doesn't detract from their appearance and IMHO they are fine for office casual/daily wear.  Still, it might be a deal breaker for some.
