I have had these shoes for a couple years now and have worn them frequently. I would suggest buying new skinnier laces for these shoes as the laces that come with it are my only complaint. They are too think and take away from how nice the shoe can be. The skinnier laces make the shape of the shoe and stitching come out well.

The shoes are genuine leather on the upper.

They fit true to size, but be aware that they are rubber soled, but for $50 you can't beat the price.
