I bought these for my husband who is a teacher, and on his feet all day long. I was a little worried about the more squared toe, as he doesn't like that to much, but when they came he loved them! They can be worn either in the class room (business casual at his school) or to an interview. This is his second pair of Clarks, the first ones lasted him 3 years, and that was wearing them at least 6 days a week.
