My husband loves these for their comfort and sharp look at work. We also bought a pair for a colleague as a birthday gift after they admired the shoes repeatedly. The work environment is suits and ties every day, and these shoes look just right. I was initially skeptical about the breathability since they aren't leather, but it's not an issue. Only negative is that scuffs and scratches from typical usage can't be buffed out and they start to look tired sooner than a leather shoe would.
