Ordered these shoes while working as a contractor in Iraq in September 09.  Very comfortable shoes, no break in required.  After about a month they started to squeak, both shoes, while walking on any surface.  Dirt, pavement, linoleum, wood, carpet.  Think something inside the soles is defective.  Also the tongue is seemingly too short, laces would slip over the top of it and come loose.  They look good and are comfortable but design/manufacture unsatisfactory.
