I have these shoes in gray - have had them for about 9 months. I jumped at the chance to buy another pair. I got them 1/2 size bigger than I usually wear but that may be because the toe box is not as square as I generally go for. I am on my feet for 4 hours, running up and down stairs, pushing people in wheelchairs, and assisting in therapy. Don't have to shuck them off as soon as I get home. That's the sign of a truly great shoe!
