I am a school teacher and have used the Florsheim Magna Force for the past 10 years.  This year I decided to switch to the Florsheim Men's Noble Oxford.  The heal of the Oxford has a rubber shock absorber bubble for "more comfort".  The shock absorber bubble literally burst and ripped on both shoes.  This may have been a defect but being that both shoes had the same problem troubles me.  The company I used was endless.com and they have a great free return policy for a full refund.  I decided not to buy the Noble Oxford's and instead will buy another Florsheim without the shock absorber bubble at the bottom of the heal.
