You get what you pay for. My boyfriend needed dress shoes for an interview this week and I found these and figured I'd give them a shot. The shoes are lightweight and obviously made of synthetic materials. The heel has a foamy feel to it and the faux leather exterior creases easily after being worn. The sole of the shoe was not glued down properly so it just sits in the shoe loosely. He wore these shoes on a 40 minute trip to the store and complained that they rubbed on his heels and pinky toes by the end of it, so he has blisters. I'm hoping the shoes will be broken in and more comfortable for him soon, but I am disappointed in the quality of them. I would not recommend them for someone who intends to wear them to a full time job; I really don't think they will last very long.
