This is one of those unique shoe designs that makes it a very versatile product. Clearly a dressy shoe, it can be comfortably and confidently worn with dress pants, a suit, or with any business casual outfits. To my pleasant surprise it  wears equally  well with casual straight, slim, and bootcut jeans. In fact, on a few occasions these shoes were mistaken for fancier boots when I wore them with jeans. This is obviously due to this shoe's narrower toe box. As far as workmanship goes, the shoes are superbly well made. The leather is soft and extremely pleasant to the touch. It bends well without making my feet stiff or uncomfortable. The leather retains its structure and does not wrinkle easily either. Overall, I am very happy with these shoes and cannot recommend them often enough.
