I'm pretty picky about having a comfortable shoe, and these made the cut. I do have fairly narrow feet, and these are snug, so I would imagine someone with wider feet wouldn't be comfortable in them. But they feel sturdy and well made, are comfortable and don't dig into my heels, and they look great with a business casual outfit. I imagine they'll be even more comfortable once the leather relaxes a bit and they get broken in. But right out of the box I can wear them all day without a problem. Very good everyday work shoe, that I hope will hold up over time.
