These shoes fit my husband perfectly and have held up to his 2-3 miles of work day walking for a month with no visible wear on the uppers.  The soles are holding up well.  The finish on the leather looks really nice, not too shiny, not too matte, and has been pretty low maintenance so far.  I like the shoes in person much more than I thought I would--in the close-up product image, the front portion of the shoe looks textured and the back looks smooth, but in reality all portions of the shoe are smooth.  These are a very very classy looking shoe, and have held up to moderate-heavy wear very well so far.
