Loved these since the moment I put them on, incredibly comfortable. The Vibram sole is just the right blend of stability and flexibility, plus it looks cool...that is once you remove that silly leather kilt. Also not big on the leather laces but they're holding up after a couple of months and the look is starting to grow on me. These are really outstanding shoes, very well made. Not terribly breathable, so maybe bring a second pair of socks with you to work every day for the breaking-in period, which for me didn't take very long.
