I've had a brown pair for nearly a year and an identical black pair for longer. These are fantastic shoes - light, durable, still look quite good after being near-daily wearers for a while now. The also do well in rain due to the rubber sole. My only gripe is that they squeak on the linoleum or faux-tile floors at my work. Nobody likes being the squeaky shoe guy in the cubicle farm, but if these things keep ticking, I'll keep being that guy. They look great, feel great, are light, and they don't die.
