I purchased these shoes assuming they would look as advertised. However, one gets what one pays for, and there is no exception here. The appearance of the leather was deceiving, and the workmanship was not as expected. The left shoe had an irregular shape as it did not match the right shoe. Also, I wore them one day, and the stitching began to come apart. If you're looking for a pair of "kick a rounds" you'll be fine otherwise forget it. I will admit I purchased a pair in black a month or so ago, and they were fine....I guess I got lucky.
