I bought these for my husband who is very picky about what he wants.  He wanted to replacce a pair he'd had for about five years but couldn't find what h wanted in local stores.  I started looking and the only ones that fit his criteria and still were under $100 were these.  H was skeptical about buying online but I told him to try and if they didn't fit or weren't what he wanted, we could return them.  Mr Picky loves them!  He's worn them for about a month now, every day.  He takes the dogs for 3-4 walks each day, and wears them everywhere except in the gardenand aroud the house (when he doesn't wear any shoes).
