Had a pair of Docksides years ago.  When I finally had to throw them out, they were over 10 yrs. old (wore them every day!).  Couldn't find them locally since and was really hesitant @ buying shoes online.  Found them on Amazon w/ free returns, so I gave it a try. They are as comfortable as I remember.  They are sturdy, true to fit (for me), had virtually no &#34;break-in&#34; period.  I would recommend them or buy them again in a heartbeat!
