My son really liked these shoes he said the fit in the toe and sides was spot on but he has a high arch and always has issues of them being too tight across the top where the laces are, that is why these shoes with the laces are better suited to his feet. He can loosen them to fit him better and then tighten them if they stretch a bit as most leather shoes do over time.  All in all a good basic shoe that looks great with a suit or casual Dockers pants.
