Just took off some $90 mid loafers I impulse-bought a bit ago and slipped on a pair of derbies I've had for a few years that were about ~$240. The difference! Room for the toes, support, the cool embrace of supple and solid materials. If you walk a lot or are on your feet a lot, don't cheat your feet. Think of shoes like a pair of tires. Your dogs will thank you
