Although these are not broken in yet, they feel fairly comfortable. I took the web site's advice and ordered them a half size larger (9.5) instead of my usual size (9). I wanted a pair of dress shoes that had a stellar shine (short of patent leather and not PU leather). These are decent shoes for the price. If I get a year or two out of them, I will be happy. I will only wear them rarely, which is why I expect them to last. I got black pair as well, so I am covered for black and brown.
