I hate spending money on shoes, I appreciate style, but I suppose I'm somewhat frugal when it comes to dress shoes. I've spent $120 on shoes and they were cool; generally I spend in the $40-$65 dollar range. I saw these and figured I'd give them a shot ... why not? They're only $20 bucks, worst comes to worst they look super cheap and I'm out $20 bucks. Much to my surprise, they look pretty sharp, I've received compliments on them and they are pretty comfortable. Just as long as they stay at this price, I'll keep buying them as needed! I recommend you give them a shot.
