These are my most worn shoes (I have in black and bronze); very comfortable for walking for long periods of time. The insoles offer great support, and are removable if you have custom insoles; I take the insoles out in the winter months when I am wearing these with a thicker sock. The shoes are my favourite for their comfort and style. The only downside is the "patent" does crease, and will eventually crack. I hope Rockport restocks these shoes, I will repurchase in black again.
