These were my second pair of the identical shoes. I love them that much. It's actually been a couple years since I purchased them and now I'm at the point of deciding whether to go ahead and buy a third pair. I'm a veterinarian and am on my feet all day at work. These shoes are great for work, (since I'm in a relatively casual environment) or for wearing out walking all day in the woods or on vacation. Very versatile. Always look good. I'll probably be getting my third pair soon.
