The shoe is very comfortable and lightweight, yet looks elegant and professional.  I have another ipswich but in a different style which I also love.  The shoe is very lightweight yet supportive and feel as comfortable as wearing a pair of athletic shoes.  In fact, I could go for a jog in these shoes if I had to without any problems.  I've had knee surgeries and beat up my body over the years so I wanted to get dress shoes I could wear daily without the achy joints.  I have to wear a suit everyday for work and these shoes fit the bill perfectly.
