I think it's style specific. I have one pair in black and brown and I've worn them so much I wore the heel down to the metal. I don't have narrow feet. Now on the other hand, I have a similar but different style and they hurt like hell. I also don't like paying full price for them because you can always find them on sale at DSW or Loehman's, but I would because I think that they are a good value for the money. They do scuff a bit, but I'm also really hard on my shoes. I personally think that Aldo shoes are way less comfortable, but I've never actually owned them, just tried them on.
