I found these at K&G about 4 years ago and loved them. The shoes are a bit stiff at first but break in after about 10 wears or so. I love them because I can wear them at work in the business attire setting but also pair them with a suit and they look great either way. They definitely fit a formal and a semi formal setting great.  As far as appearance they are a classy looking shoe without looking pretentious or ostentatious.

I would give them 5 stars except for one thing. They scuff relatively easy and the beautiful brown color gives way to a lighter more tan color. For me personally I like the look of slight wear in the shoes but some may not.

These are sturdy shoes. I wore them about 2-3x's per week over a four year period for work and then occasionally for more formal affairs and it was about four to five years before the soles started to separate from the rest of the shoe. I immediately came on amazon and bought another pair
