They certainly are versatile. You can even get away with wearing them with an unstructured blazer like this. You're welcome!

So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks.

I wore them for a few hours yesterday and they were amazingly comfortable. I'm not quite sure about the longevity of the sole but Crown does offer a resoling service for them. Considering the softness
