I'm not sure how many pairs of these I've owned at this point - started wearing them about 15 years ago I think. I tend to buy a new pair about once a year (various color configurations) and wear the heck out of them until I can't wear them anymore. For the money, I think they're a steal on comfort, support and style. Generally i wear size 11, but I started buying a size too big of these because I find the 11 a little tight. 12 has a bit more room in the toe than i need but they're a better fit overall.
