So far so good. I bought these shoes and they arived promptly and they are very nice shoes to look at and feel comfortable and smell like leather and came with an extra set of shoe strings. The strings in them are of leather lace and look wonderful in the shoes. These shoes are good for causual dress of every day or would look nice and appropate as a dress shoe if wearing a suite and tie as well. (my opinion) It is yet to see how long the shoes will last. I hope a year or longer with no problems. This is the first Polo Brand shoes I have owned. They look like they are made for wealthy high society persons whom are on the golf course or at other prestigious atholetic events. These are very pleasant shoes to look upon and even the paper in the shoe box had water marks of the brand upon the wraping paper they were wrapped with. I would say that no expense was lacking to make the shoes very presentable and very attractively made and presented. So it would be well to consider that as much care as the shoes were packaged and made to be presentable would also mean the shoes are very well made and will last a good while. I would say Polo Ralph Lauren takes great pride in the name and brands with the name Polo Ralph Lauren upon them. I intend to try other products of this brand name, just to see if I am right about the pride and quality. Thanks and hope this assist the readers of my review.
