I use these to wear when I go out to dinner at night and for other semi formal occasions.  They are extremely comfortably, they have held up well, and they look really good.  After a year of this type of use they still look &#34;out of the box&#34; new.  Under heavy day to day wear I do not know how well they would hold up, as I have not worn them that way.  For my purposes (see above), they have proven to bee a very good looking shoe that I can wear comfortably when I go out to dinner in a less formal restaurant.  I really like them.
