Bought for my S.O. as a replacement pair. He really loved the first pair. He's hard on shoes, so they only lasted 9 months, but these are pretty much all he wears every day. They wore out at the stitching, not the soles or leather. Being leather, the do stretch out over time. He was surprised at how snug the new ones felt in comparison to the old ones. He likes that they are comfortable and look good for jeans and a t-shirt to khakis and a tie.
