The shoe itself seems great. I ordered the black and it's exactly as shown in the pictures. The leather seems to be really high quality- it's very supple, yet not flimsy.

I have two concerns though...

I normally wear an 11.5 to 12 in most shoes, but other reviewers mentioned they ran a little large so I ordered the 11. It's still slightly larger than I can comfortably wear, so in that case I'll be returning them for a 10.5. I'd recommend ordering 1 FULL size smaller than what you normally would purchase.

The last concern probably seems very "nit-picky," but it was enough to disappoint me. The shoes are intended to have a somewhat boxy looking toe area. That's just the nature of the Padmores and the Wallabees, however the inside corner on the right shoe had a noticeably more pronounced angle to it, making it look odd in comparison to the other corner of the toe box.
