Is the Upton good for standing all day?

Yes, that is its main strength. The TRUFOAM midsole and memory-foam footbed are cushioned and light, which suits long days on hard floors better than a leather-soled oxford.

Can I use my own orthotics in it?

The contoured memory-foam footbed is removable, so most aftermarket insoles or orthotics will fit in its place. Check that the insole you add is not thicker than the original or the fit will tighten.

How does it compare with a traditional leather-soled dress shoe?

It is lighter and more cushioned but less durable and less formal. A stitched leather-soled shoe can be resoled for years; the Upton's foam midsole is a wear item.

No. The perforated upper and mesh lining breathe well but let water through, so it is a dry-weather shoe.

One pair of shoes with the removable memory-foam footbed already fitted. No shoe trees or extra laces are included.
