I purchased these beautiful shoe boots for my male best friend for Christmas, in addition to a Nautica sweater from Macy's of the same color.  I was so excited that I ended up giving them to him around Thanksgiving instead.

He LOVED them!!  - The sophisticated appearance, the color, the material, the way they felt on his feet, and the exterior soles (they're beige but gray is meshed up in there; a good way to ensure that if the beige gets dirty, no one will be able to tell).

The ONE drawback was that the shoes were ONLY sold in medium sizes, which equates to wide.  He has no choice but to wear thick socks with them and then put a pair of thin dress socks overtop of those.  He loved the shoes so much that I asked him if he wanted me to return them and find another pair of shoes; he adamantly said no, Lol.
