I got these shoes as a gift. I originally asked for the Taupe color but it looks like they discontinued this model shoe in that color so i got black instead. The only problem i had with the shoe is when i put them on they would squeak like no ones business. This is because of the tongue rubbing up against the shoe while you walk. I researched a safe way of getting rid of that squeak and removing the noise was as simple as using hand lotion. I just got some basic lotion rubbed it on the sides of the tongue and anywhere it would rub against and BAM! no squeak. Made me love these shoes 10 times more.

Another thing is that i have a wide foot and the ones i received were normal (D). Simple solution to this is to not lace it up all the way. I've noticed people mentioning that they don't have enough lace to tie the shoe but what you need to understand is you don't need to lace them up all the way. There are only loops that the string goes through to about half way up the shoe, the rest are like little hooks that the laces wrap around all the way to the top. To wear them comfortably and keep circulation in my foot i don't lace them all the way.

I will agree that these are comfortable. I have various pairs of dress shoes and i remember within the first few hours of wearing them my feet would be sore. With these once you break them in i can see how they can be an everyday shoe. So overall i give this product 5 stars and i might just buy myself another pair only in brown this time.
