I had already priced these shoes in stores ON SALE. The lucky break was that they were out of stock. I say lucky because then I came home and found them on Amazon for less than the in store SALE PRICE! My husband loves them. He had been a loyal Timberland customer until then.  These shoes are comfortable, light, and still dressy. He is a lawyer and uses them for work. Does a LOT of walking. Will definately buy again!
