I have had a pair of these for two years and I liked them so much that I reordered the same model. These are a great all-around shoe. I wear them everywhere and they have held up well. I have worn the soles thin on my old pair but they still look great.

I bought the brown pair of these in June 2015 -  They just might be the best pair of shoes I have ever owned.  Not the most comfortable since I had to buy a half size bigger when they were low on stock ,  but that hold up well , and haven't even started falling apart yet.  I ware them almost every day ,  much more often than my New Balance shoes  that has  already been falling apart for the last few months.  Id like to buy another pair of Pacific shoes  , but the price has doubled since last year. Still might be worth it considering they last and last

This shoe fits fine and looks great (gloss finish is a bit too shinny) but needs a few days to break it in. This is my second pair because the first
pair only lasted for roughly a year; the front tip of both shoes split open.

Bought them two years ago and they are still in great shape.

So the first pair that I ordered were both marked as my size, 10 1/2 W.  However, the right shoe was noticeably narrower than the left.  I contacted Amazon and exchanged for a new pair.
The second pair fit fine.
These shoes feel very light.  The leather is stiff, as good leather shoes always are until they have been worn a little.  The physical appearance of these is exactly as pictured.  There is a hint of reddish color in the brown, which is exactly the color I was trying to find.
The soles have a little texture to provide some traction, but it's not much.
The shoe laces are a good length and provide enough friction that they do not easily come undone.
This second pair has a minor defect in the back of the sole that is noticeable, like they molded it and part of the mold did not get filled.
Overall, the quality is about what I expected at this price, but it would have been nice to have been surprised by a shoe.
For reference, my last pair of shoes were Florsheims that cost about a hundred dollars.  I think these shoes are about the same in terms of quality (I was not thrilled with the quality of the Florsheims for the price I paid, which is why I decided to try something different).
If these shoes last 6 to 9 months, I will consider it to be a decent value and probably buy again.  I hate shoe shopping, because when you find the style you want, (surprise!) they don't have it in your size.  With Amazon I get more selection, and sending back the first pair was not a problem.

Update:  3/14/2014
Some time has passed and these shoes warrant additional information.  The shine on the shoe does not last long at all.  As the shoes have worn, it has become clear that one of the reasons they are so light is that there is very little sole.  This is fine if, like me, you intend to replace the shoes every 6 months or so.  After just a couple of months, the rubber soles on both shoes have very little traction left.  These shoes did take a beating this year due to the harsh winter.  The leather uppers have both become noticeably scuffed in spots.  All in all, this is just an average shoe.  Nothing special.  The shoelaces have lost friction and come untied frequently if I don't double-knot them.

One last thing is that I have plantar fasciitis in both feet and usually, getting new shoes helps to reduce the symptoms for a while.  These shoes did not really help in that regard.

Great looking pair of boots. Excellent quality leather and craftsmanship. The leather soles are very thick leather. They are pretty slippery because of that (leather soles). The main thing is that it will take a while to break in. The leather is quite stiff. Over time, I think the boots will look even better. The picture that Amazon shows on their website is quite accurate. The boots actually look like the pics. I will update as I wear them over time.

The first pair arrived with several scuffs and a couple of scrapes in the tan areas along with more scuffs in the darker (chocolate) area. These were exchanged quickly by Amazon. Unfortunately, the second pair also came with scuffs (no scrapes), though not as drastic as the first pair. Rather than go through another return, I decided to condition and polish the affected areas because I did like the look of the boots. Using Saphir Rennovator along with Saphir Gabardine and Dark Brown paste polish, I got both pair looking like the scuffs never existed. So now the boots look like the product photos.

I give the boots 4 stars for look or appearance. The tan overlay over a chocolate vamp really sets the boots apart. However, the overall quality of the materials and manufacture do not measure up to that of other production boot makers such as Lucchese, Tony Lama and Justin. In fairness, they don't cost as much as those other makers' boots, either. Still, I give the boots 2 stars for quality and thus an average of 3 stars overall.

Again in fairness, I have to admit that I'm a bit of a boot snob. I own 20 pair, mostly from from  Stewart, Lucchese, and Los Altos, though I've experimented with Cuadra, King Exotic and Black Jack, all good products. (I still lament the decision of Stewart to cease making handmade boots for us masses in favor of custom work only. And the Lucchese Classics and Lucchese 2000 lines--the only ones I own-- are far superior to their former and current 1883 line.)

This is my first experience with Dan Post boots. When enough time has passed and I've had a chance to fully appreciate their comfort (or not), I'll try to remember to update this review.

July 26, 2017 Update: It's now been 6 months, and I have to say that these are really growing on me. They're quite comfortable and I get lots of favorable comments.

February 7, 2018 Update: I take back some of my above comments regarding Dan Post quality. I've now had the opportunity to own two more pair, and I now much prefer Dan Post to Justin, Nocona and Tony Lama. The leathers are softer and more pliable..and the boots are more comfortable. They still won't replace my Stewart, Lucchese or Los Altos boots, and I'm feeling some love for Tacovas and Olathe, but Dan Post is a worthy competitor.

I got these a couple of years ago in black cherry. They're decent boots, very stylish, and surprisingly comfortable. Eventually, I took to wearing them most days to work (office job, not outdoors).

I found that they scuffed easily, and got to look a little too "broken in" a little too quickly. That didn't bother me too much though. Unfortunately, I live in cold and snow for half the year, and the boots weren't exactly made for that. A daily walk over wet/salty sidewalks has begun to break down the soles.

I may see if they can be repaired. Failing that, I might just buy another of the same set. I do like them a lot, and shoes just don't last forever.

Update 02/14/12

I was able to get these re-soled and shined up for $43, and it looks like they're good for another couple of years. They were definitely worth fixing.

Update: 5/5/14

I got these re-soled again about a month ago. For another $43 I should get another couple of years out of them. When the uppers wear out, I'll buy  new pair just like them.

The last time I bought a pair of these headphones was back in 2012. That pair has lasted me the last 4 years, until the 3.5mm too finally gave out and broke.

One thing I can say is that these 2016-model Flats are noticeably lower quality than my 2012 model ones. The band is made from a cheaper plastic, and the speakers seem to have a slightly higher mid-range than my last pair - which is a welcome change.

Overall, after these headphones have properly been broken-in, they should be perfect, but there are some definite signs of JVC cutting costs. Still incredible headphones for the price, and highly recommended.

They look pretty good, and they've stood up to a couple years of regular use well enough. They're not top-notch by any means, but they're well-made, and I expect they'll last long until I have the money for a truly nice set.

I bought these under two years ago and have used them a few times a week since. I'm a office worker, so the worst wear they see is the walk to/from my car. They've recently started to fray at the top and the suede has busted at the back of each heel and on the outside edge on both feet too, to the point I'm on here looking for a replacement boot. I'm knocking a star off for this, because I feel that's excessive wear for the level of usage.

Other than that, the boots were comfortable from the very first time I put them on. Fit was as expected, if perhaps a little loose. 20 months on they're now definitely a little loose because the elastic has stretched out a bit. But I can still wear them without issue. The color and look was very nice too, and the sole has held up well for how soft it is--I thought it would be the part to wear out first when I bought them.

Overall, 8/10, would recommend for casual use. Don't expect them to do any amount of mileage.

I've been using these headphones for over 2 years now as my daily driver. I've worn them for hours at a time without fatigue, and use along with some open back headphones to EQ music in FL Studio.

+Looks great
+Lightweight
+Ear cushions are soft
+Isn't bass heavy
+Mic is pretty good
+2 braided cables in the box (one without mic)
+Ears don't get hot

-Isn't glasses friendly - they'll hurt after a while
-Cable is surprisingly fragile. I had to contact the company to get a replacement after both of the ones that came in the box broke. Hell, at this point the replacement cable is getting worn out
-Also, cable is a 3.5mm stereo to two 2.5mm mono with each earcup having a plug, which makes it more difficult getting 3rd party cables. This is more of an issue due to the fact that the cable is fragile
-Cable is also shorter than I'd like
-Earcups don't swivel flat for easy packing
-Afraid someone is gonna mug me when walking outside with these because of how good looking they are

Misc.
>Customer service is pretty good
>They go over my ears, but I wouldn't call them over-ear headphones. If my ears were any larger they'd be on-ear.
>The longest I've gone wearing them is about 9 hours straight. They didn't hurt, but that's considering I wasn't wearing glasses and it's not on-ear for me.
>Honestly if the cables were better I'd give this 5 stars

I used to go through a pair of New Balance shoes in three months.  These lasted me two years.  The vibram/polyurethane soles are still like new, but the heel is crushing.  After two years.  Rockport has started using cheap chinese plastic instead of vibram, which grips.  These Merrells grip and last at a lower price than Rockport or New Balance.  Bravo, Merrell!!! Keep it up.

They look great and fit well, they look real as well. My first pair broke unfortunately two months after wearing them.
