Durable Work/Casual Dress Shoe
5 Stars
Durable Work/Casual Dress Shoe
This is my second pair, in 3 years (yes they last that long) the first pair was over $100 so the price has dropped significantly. I wear these to work and to church. Durable enough to work in and still look good enough to wear in a casual dress situation. I still wear the first pair out and about too, nothing wrong with them just a little rugged.
