I am writing this review after roughly a month and a half of use so I cannot vouch for the long-term wear that these shoes will experience. What I can say, though, is that so far, they are worth every pound I spent on them. I have never spent half as much on a pair of shoes before (including smart black leather shoes and walking boots) so I was expecting a great deal from them. They have not disappointed. They find the perfect balance; they are great to look at, smart enough to wear in my office job but rugged enough to survive being used all day every day. We had some snow recently; did I slip? No way! If you can afford them, buy them. Cheap shoes are a false economy and I am confident that these will last me a long time and give me great pleasure every day.

The Apa shoe looks great, but the color is too limited. Why you don't do blue/black/yellow as well? Please, note that what you are currently calling Apa Black, is not black, even though it is ment to be so by looking on this web as well as on your catalogue. Actually it is really BROWN. I have been froded by your published picture. Indeed, I posted back my order. Please, issue a real black Apa, expecially if you want to call it so.
