After putting these on, they could easily be worn as dress shoes. They are very nice and very well made. The leather heel is also very nice. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is I had to return these as they do run a bit narrow.  It could be possible that they stretch out to a comfortable fit after a while, however, they were so narrow on my foot that they were hard to put on and take off.  Really was sad to return them with no wider size available. I will be searching the web to see if they do come in a wider version! The leather is soft like a glove, and the "Diesel" logo is very understated and does not detract from the casual to almost formal look of these boots.
