I've been wearing Josef Saibel Shoes for over a decade. Their Angel Boots provided great support and comfort for my walking all over Europe without getting sore. Of the six pairs I've bought, I still wear three of DSW Shoes. The shoes generally last two to three years if you wear them nearly EVERY day. If the soles wear out they can replace them for a low cost. The shoes aren't cheap, but you get your money's worth if you wear them a lot. They often have really good sales, and there's always many funky pairs on clearance if you can find your size at Josef Seibel Shoes. This store opened a couple years ago and is a beautiful large space. The staff are always very friendly and helpful, and they sometimes give you free dum dums.
