This is my third pair of MBT's. This pair is very dressy looking, but still comfortable and great for long hours on your feet.  I stand for 12 hour shifts with rarely a break to sit down.  MBT's provide plenty of cushioning for standing and walking.  I did not realize how worn down my last pair was after more than a year of such abuse until I put on this new pair.  It requires a bit of balance to maneuver in these shoes.  I almost fell off them a couple of times during quick turns.  My old MBT's had evidently worn down over time to the point that I wasn't getting any benefit from the design, but they were still REALLY comfortable.
