    I am surprised about how comfy they were right out of the box. I wore them for 12 hours on my first wear and they felt great. I can't imagine how they will feel after break in.

    Thanks for all of the kind replies. After 15 years in the car business I finally decided to treat my feet to some nice shoes. I'm already hooked and spend half my days trying to decide on my next pair(s). I am a little worried about how easily I am scratching them at work, but that is why...
