My husband has problem feet: Severe neuropathy make it difficult for him to know how shoes fit. Sometimes he can't even feel his feet; other times everything hurts. On top of that, he has flat feet and an extra bone somewhere. So shoes are a challenge. We've bought SAS loafers for him twice, knowing the excellence of workmanship. They've worked well for dressier outings. He's about worn out a pair of SAS velcro sneakers, so I deduce they are pretty comfortable (also easy on/off). So when I saw these slip on shoes on sale for under $200, I hoped they might become a good daily shoe (he is a home chef and baker and on his feet a great deal). A month (2?) later, the jury is still out. I was surprised at the stiffness of the sole, and tho the tops are leather they are not as soft as the other models. He wears them for short periods and reports he is hoping to break them in. I might have returned them, but on very first wearing he dropped a bit of cooking oil on one, so we kept them. I hope that in time they become comfortable. They are well made!
