This is my second pair of these shoes.  I cater in a major office building campus and literally put on an average of 8miles a day running the halls pushing heavy carts.  This is the first pair of shoes that has lasted more than 3 months.  They were comfortable right out of the box, and their non-skid tread works great, even in a greasy kitchen.  I do have a fairly narrow foot, and can see these shoes would not be as comfortable if you have a wide foot.  They also do not have a lot of 'cushion', but they are remarkably compfy.  I just wish I did not wear out shoes every 4 months....tough on the budget.....but, like I said, these have lasted the longest.  The last cheaper work shoes I purchased lasted less than a month.
