Formal and functional
These are great shoes considering the price. They look great and are very comfortable. I recommend them to just about anyone who wants a formal shoe that has a lot of walkability. I only wear them about twice a week, but I do get a lot of steps in with them. I typically wear them when I go out downtown and to networking events. I've walked up to 4 miles with them on in a single day. I Have owned them almost a year now, and they have a huge amount of life left. I expect these shoes to last 3-5 years based on my 2day/week use. I did get some heel cushions for them, although you can certainly wear them with out.These fit pretty true to size. I wear a size 11 in almost everything except Doc Martens(runs large) and Nikes (runs small). My foot is on the wider side and I found there to be a little extra width in upper part even for my foot, which is nice because a lot of dress shoes are too narrow and uncomfortable.If you wear these every day or walk a lot in challenging environments, I could see these shoes only lasting 1-2 years, even my $120 running shoes last 1-2 years. I believe the shoes are made of almost all synthetic material, not so great for the planet, but pretty nice on my wallet.
