I found this to be a nice looking shoe that can double as a weekend casual or for work. I haven't worn them enough to comment on total comfort but initial wearing was very comfortable. It is a heavier shoe compared to Rockport but not as heavy as some Deer Stags I own.  I am between  sizes. I am just slightly bigger than an 11 so I always order 11.5 or I will be disappointed. These seemed a little bigger than other 11.5 but I still wouldn't drop down a half size. .
