Best travel shoes I've ever purchased.
I purchased these shoes about a year and a half ago. They have traveled with me to Europe twice, as well as excursions all around the U.S. There were days I walked between 10-12 miles. All I can say is that these are some of the most comfortable and well-made shoes I have owned. After all the miles, they show minimal wear other than looking fashionably worn. My only maintenance has been some leather conditioner. The soles show some wear, but nothing significant. I don't know how they would hold up on a hiking trail, because the tread is not very aggressive, but for walking around cities and groomed trails, I have not worn a better shoe. As for sizing, I'd recommend sizing 1/2 step up from your regular size.
