Styling is superb and the fit is about 1/2 size larger and slightly narrower than true.  Oddly, the arch pad is positioned considerably more toward the heel instead of in middle of my arch.  Quality leaves a little to be desired.  The suede used is very thin, with a very, very stiff man made backing applied in necessary areas in order for shoes to retain shape reasonably well.  Most noticeable is some of finishing of the suede where pieces are stitched together and or along edges.  For example the edges of the tongue and around the top are simply cut and not  rolled, stitched or finished off in any way whatsoever.  Compare this to a Bass shoe at around the same price and you'll see what I mean.

Very stylish with a long, slim tapering toe; but I only expect these will last a couple of seasons before needing replacement (2 stars - 2 seasons?). Is there value at $149 (full price)? Absolutely not.  At $50-$70, they're probably even just OK, but not great.  But there are much better made shoes available in those price ranges.
