I can't say enough great things about these shoes. I've been looking for a pair of comfortable dress shoes for quite a while.  I have bad feet and suffer from extreme plantar fascitis (have had surgery on both feet for this condition).  These shoes provide great arch support on their own but I can use my orthotics if I need to-they have a removable footbed.  They are extremely comfortable, even at the end of the day.  They are dressy enough to wear with slacks but easily be worned with jeans as well.  I usually wear a 9 or 9 1/2 and the 9 1/2 is perfect with socks.  Great shoes.
