My husband likes this shoes.  Says that they look like classics, like the ones he wore when he was a much younger man.  He likes that aspect of the shoes.  The toes are long and pointy and look like they would be too narrow but he says they aren't and that they fit just fine.  He had needed a pair of black shoes for that rare time when we dress up.  We are both retired now so these "fit the bill" just great.
