I bought these shoes from a local store and had to mix a pair from different boxes to get a nice set. Noticed a lot of the shoes had shoe glue all over them and a few had some bad creases in the leather. If you get a good set this is a really nice pair of shoes for the money. They look great and feel great. They are real leather and it really shows compared to other shoes in the same price range. The padding in the inside is top notch as well. I probably wouldn't have bought these shoes by looking at the pics online but they are really a top notch shoe.
