I bought these at a local shoe store. I'm an 11 4E with a very high instep. These felt great from day 1, I didn't even need a break-in period. I've worn these daily with few exceptions for the last 3.5 years. I put some Kiwi paste polish on them when they get scuffed, and they still look great.

Besides being comfortable, I've walked through puddles and deep snow with them and my feet have always stayed 100% dry It rains and snows a lot in Ohio). Not a hint of moisture on my socks from water or snow, ever! I'm 47 and can say without hesitation say that these are the best made and most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. They even make Rockports seem like something from Payless.

I'm sold on this brand, which i believe is owned by New Balance. Makes sense. New balance are also the only athletic shoes that always fit me right. I'm wondering if Dunham's slip-ons are as good.
