I have bought a pair of these every year for the past 5 years. I wear them 5 days a week for work. My only complaint would be that the back sole wears out after about 10 months of usage on my right side. Probably more from the way a walk than construction of the shoe but I would think it still should last longer. At ten months a hole starts to develop and at 12 there is a full chunk of sole missing and they need to be replaced. The are fairly comfortable for the style. I would buy a different shoe but i haven't been able to find any they look as durable as these and feel as good.
