I own a pair of Cartwrights and a pair of Johnnys. The Cartwrights were my first pair, had them about a week, wore them occasionally, fit great out of the box, very comfortable. A week later wore them to my daughter's wedding, danced all night, wanted to wear them to the beach the next morning! A year later when the Johnny was introduced, I got them, felt like old socks, comfy! A year goes by, I notice the seam on the sole separating, called Tecovas and asked if the would re-sole them, they say they don't offer that service. Two mornings later, I open my front door to let the dogs out and there is a box of new Johnny's on my front porch.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
