This is my second pair of "Cabot."  You will never wear these out because there is no cushion.  Hard on feet.  I thought the first was just a bad pair.  Nope, these are the same.  The order was perfect, on time and the fit was on the money.  I would not buy another pair, although maybe the feel is because I'm several pounds over what I should be.  Florsheim is usually really, really great.  This model just doesn't do it for me.
