text: Shoes were very stiff at first, but that's to be expected with any new pair of shoes.  After about a week or so of wear, they became very comfortable.  My only issue with them is the longevity of the shoe over time.  After 4 months of wearing these shoes, the sole on the right shoe pretty much disintegrated.  I wore these maybe 40-45 hours a week while working and took great care of them (as I do with all my shoes), but they just didn't last.<br /><br />PROS: Took a shine pretty well, comfortable after breaking them in, very professional looking<br /><br />CONS: very stiff shoe for the first week, 4 months of wear before the soles will wear out
