I would of given these a five star but despite what everyone is saying they are not comfortable, they are just as comfortable as most really nice dress shoes, which is not very. For a semi-dress shoe the most comfortable I have every owned are the Merrell World Forums, which are discontinued but at this time can still be ordered on Amazon. I would still highly recommend these as I get compliments all the time and have found most of my associates payed between $150 and $250 for them and I got them for $90 here on sale. I don't know what the one review was talking about in regards to shipping, no overcharges that I could tell. BUYERS NOTE: I bought one size larger and one size wider than I measure out to be. I would suggest two sizes wider for a better comfort fit. It does take about a week or two for these to stretch out and fit normally.
