Saw these lovely shoes as I scanning the section looking for a nice pair of flat dress shoes. I love the look and the heavy lace and the shoe was much more attractive in person than I imagined. I was concerned about the fit as they were purchased online from a brand I had never previously worn. But the fit is very comfortable. These go very well as a dress shoe with a skirt or dress slacks and can also be worn with jeans. As I like to wear boots with shorts, I can not say how they would work with shorts. I have received so many compliments of the leather/lace combination of the shoes, most have been from men. I look forward to the Shay Oxford becoming available in other colors and may order a second pair in the maroon. I often wear black slacks with black dress shirt/sweater for work and like an attractive non-black color for the shoes and this fits the bill well.

I have and will continue to recommend the Shay Oxford.
