Pros: These shoes replaced a different brand of non-slip shoes purchased through my employer.  They were comfortable immediately and stayed that way, wearing them daily.  These are the first pair purchased in a while that fit properly for the size I ordered. I use a custom support device that I move from shoe to shoe, so I can't comment on the arch support.  The non-slip properties were as good as the shoes this pair replaced.<br />Cons:  The laces thread directly through the leather, without eyelets.  While this keeps them tight after adjustment, it also makes it difficult to unlace them to remove the shoes. Tightening the laces each day is difficult, requiring pulling the laces at each attachment from toe to top in sequence.  Attempting to pull the laces tight without observing the sequence resulted in pulling the lace through the leather, ruining the shoe within three weeks.<br />I would have given one star but I realize part of the problem is my own impatience, unwilling to invest the full 2-3 minutes per shoe to finish getting ready for work.
