I can't find a more comfortable brown real leather shoe than this. My only complaint is that the outsole, or tread, wears relatively quickly to any other shoes I own. These tend to wear flat on the bottom after 6-8 months of use 3-4 days a week. I'm an IT guy and a good amount of my time is spent walking around smooth floors, I'm not sure why these wear as quickly as they do. Even with the wear issues on the tread, I can't find a shoe I like better and I'll be buying them again when they wear out.
