These are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I bought them about five months ago to wear at work (in an automotive shop) and they quickly became my favorite. I wear them everywhere now. They've held up very well so far (still look nearly new) and the materials and workmanship appear to be top notch. I love how the sole extends up and partially over the toe to protect from scuffing - and I like the wide, tough look of the shoe. I'm considering buying a second pair to keep in the closet for when these finally wear out!

The only downside is that they're made in China - usually a deal-breaker for me, as I don't like to support exporting American jobs, lack of labor and environmental laws, etc. But there's just no comparable alternative.
