I really like the look and fit of these shoes.  The problem is with the sole.  I would like more forefoot cushioning, and I am back looking for new shoes after six months (about 4 months of everyday use), since the heel outer sole is wearing thin.  I do a lot of walking, so your mileage may vary, but running shoes usually last me about twice as long as this for identical everyday use (and are a lot more comfortable).

These seem to run large compared to (Nike) running shoes.  I bought a half size smaller than usual, and still could have gone half a size smaller (based on length - my feet are narrow, if your feet are wide you may not want to size down).

UPDATE:
These ended up lasting longer than it initially seemed they would (6 months everyday use, with a fair amount of pavement walking), so about half as long as running shoes (that cost double the price I paid for these).  So I upped this to 4 stars since they ended up reasonable value for what I paid ($42 from memory).
