I bought these as a Christmas present for my insanely fussy husband. Buying shoes with him is like pulling teeth, and I was taking a really big risk getting those without having him try them on. But they were a replacement for a very similar-looking pair (different make) he wore out to shreds and wouldn't throw away (they got really comfortable, I guess ;), so I knew he'd at least like the look. The surprise was how much he liked the fit as well. With the old shoes, it took him quite a while to break them in and start liking wearing them. These, he loved right away. And that's a first.

Pros:
- beautiful, timeless look
- great quality leather
- nice little boost from the heel (don't laugh, it works for men as well as women - makes his behind look great)
- perfect fit (once you work out what your exact foot size is)

Cons:
- price (but then, the pros are worth it)
- fiddly lacing (but looks oh-so-sophisticated)

Love, love, love these on my husband, and love that he loves them too!
