I have petty much always worn Florsheim shoes. I ordered these as an older pair I own started to show signs of "fatigue". This shoe is well made and as I have not had a chance to wear them a lot, they're still a little "stiff". The main thing I need to say is that when you first put them on, BE CAREFUL. The soles on these shoes are highly polished and very slippery, especially if you're on a carpet. They would be great if you decided to dance the Electric Slide. I would recommend roughing them up with a little sand paper or putting them on and then scuffing them on the sidewalk or driveway before wearing them or you may be embarking on a dangerous mission.
