Best shoes I've ever owned (so far...) I have been in private medical practice over 9 years, and I do a fair amount of walking from room to room throughout the day. I also like a nice pair of dressy shoes to wear on my day off. In the past, Rockport has fit the bill fairly well. But, when I decided to replace my shoes this time I was looking for something more sophisticated and equally comfortable. I learned about Cole Haan w/ Nike Air technology through GQ or similar (don't particularly recall). I was a bit unprepared for the price tag, but decided to go ahead and give them a try. I have not been disappointed. I have scuffed them a bit already, but have no doubt they will clean up nicely and last a long time. I'm definitely impressed with the quality and workmanship and especially how comfortable yet dressy they appear.
