I love these slick and sharp looking formal shoes. They suited me perfectly during a recent wedding and I look forward to wearing them to other events that require my footwear to be a 'step' above (pun intended)! I received numerous comments on them from and was very happy with how they matched my lighter khakis. These 'almost two tone' brown shoes will work well with many different color pants and suits, I am very much looking forward to wearing them with my light blue suit.

Note on the sizing...I normally wear and 11 and the 10.5 I received fit perfectly. Consider this when ordering.

These are well made however, if you are a leather snob you will certainly know that these are not the real deal. Don't let this be a deal breaker for you as these will certainly last you the season and withstand the torments of being a shoe. I do recommend breaking them in a bit as they are stiff at first but will loosen up a bit. There is the issue of the crease that gets created when you walk, so if this is something that drives you nuts you better shell out the money for real leather.

Design is great. The punctures in the front look modern and fun, all well holding a traditional presentation. Nice heel support that gives you stability and helps you stand up straight. Shoe laces were also fine.
