I wanted a quality shoe with leather soles and conservative styling, this shoe fit that bill.  The only question mark was I wanted leather upper shoe part also but since I liked the style and the "shine" I gave a five star rating.  This type of shoe is low maintenance that keeps its luster.  I would recommend this shoe to the person that liked the dressy look everytime he wore the shoes.  I am the type of guy that like a comfortable "house shoe" feeling right out of the box.  this shoe will be there with a few more wears, its a little snug right now with only two wears. Next time I will order a "EE". Overall I love the shoe.
