I got a pair of these in black and love them. They are very well made shoes from one of the last hand made shoemakers in the US. They are nearly as well made as my handmade Italians, which cost considerably more, even in Florence. The stitching is nearly perfect. They are extremely comfortable and beautifully made with lovely lines and perforations. A wonderful match to a gray, black or blue suit or even jeans. If you're looking for a beautiful, comfortable shoe that will last a lifetime, look no further.

Update 1/11/2013: These have become some of my favorite dress shoes. I liked them so much, I got another pair in a very beautiful, rich, dark brown.

Update 4/14/2017: I like these so much I've added a third pair in their new gray color.
