Great quality shoe. Stitching is superb, comfortable padding, high quality. After purchasing shoe after shoe after shoe for years, these would be the best construction, quality and comfort of any shoe I've owned. I tend to stay in the $75-$100 range for a pair of
shoes. You do have to be patient with them, as they do have a 3 day break in period, so get the bandaids ready for the blisters. Once broken in, they are very comfortable. You may or may not need to
jump up half a size. They feel slightly snug on my right foot, but not too bad.
