These shoes are a very handsome design and are good casual work shoes. They fit my husband very well, so they seem true-to-size. Charcoal is a really lovely dark gray color in person.

The upper looks like suede but is really synthetic. Because it's synthetic, it needed a bit of a 'gentle break in' period. They are comfortable, even if a little stiff. My husband really likes them, and thinks these shoes are perfect for work since it's a fairly casual environment.
