Ara Jones Leather Gore-Tex® Shoes - Waterproof (For Men)

The construction and craftsmanship is excellent. Also, a very nice looking business CASUAL shoe. I wear a 12 and it perfectly. Width was medium. The nice surprise about this shoe is comfort. The insert is amazing. I've never seen an insert this thick and well made. No superfeet needed for this shoe! Despite the comfortable , plush insert, the traction of the shoe is that of a track shoe...it grips. You do not feel like you are walking on marshmallows. Although I have not walked in the rain with this shoe, it appears the goretex booty is well made and overly thick. The shoe appears to be normal weight for a shoe - whatever that is. It is not heavy, that is for sure. If I can get the brown pair for the same unbelievable low amount I paid for the black pair...wow.

These shoes are snugly comfortable and have good support. The footpads are remarkably soft. They are also surprisingly light for such sturdily made shoes. Although the styling is not exciting, it's ordinariness makes the shoes very versatile. They're fine for work and good for for taking walks too.
