I order shoes online next to never, but having owned a pair of these shoes in black (same size and style) my expectations were good.

I think everyone wants that "Cinderella" fit in a shoe, but in reality few are like that. Every brand of shoe is cut a little differently, and thus the real question is whether or not it gives in a way that doesn't cause discomfort.  In my case, this shoe felt fine the first time I wore it which was for about 3 hours in church.

I like it. The shine of the leather and the wingtip imprint make it a standout.  The sole feels lighter than some of the classic dress shoes used to be, but in my book this is a good thing as it invites better shock absorbtion when you walk.  Also noticeable is that the leather forms creases easier than older shoes used to, but some buyers will see them as character marks, while others view it as a shortcoming.

All in all, I will probably invest in another pair (brown) when they become available in my size (11-1/2 W).
