text: I'm pretty happy with these shoes.  I've never actually worn a pair of 'docs' before as I've been wearing chuck taylors and vans for the last 30 years.<br />The break-in period wasn't bad.  They were a bit stiff for the first day and I've been pretty good with them ever since.  I find them to be comfortable and have no problems wearing them for 12 hours or longer at a time.<br /><br />I get the impression that these will last a long time.
