Look.  It's Chinese shoes.  What do you guys expect for this price?

At the time I bought these, I bought 2 other pairs at the same time from Amazon.  Of the three pair, these are the least nice.  But they're still not bad.  I bought 10.5 W, and these were definitely a touch small.  Definitely ran small, to my view.  Go a half-size up if you are even remotely borderline.

There are two main problems with this shoe, if I'm being honest:

1) The quality of the FINISH on the leather is not quite up to snuff.  It looks good out of the box, and it seems like it's going to be good, but it's got the odd knack of getting really scuffed, and really "unshined" looking very, very quickly, because the finish is not the highest quality.  I pretty much have to shine these after every single wearing in order to keep them up to my desired appearance.  There is no doubt, I think, that this shoe will not last as long as the other two pairs.

2) Wow.  Before I broke these in, this shoe ABSOLUTELY MASSACRED by feet for the first two wearings.  Blisters everywhere, back of the foot rubbed raw in an hour.  It was really unpleasant.  Much better now that they're broken in, but definitely, if you're not getting a half-size up, and you have to break these in old style, you are going to experience some serious discomfort, because the points of contact and tension on these shoes are right where they can do the most damage.

I would buy these again though, for sure.  On a per dollar basis, I'm reasonably happy, and 50% of the "problems" I had with these were because they were just a touch small and I couldn't bother sending them back for a size up.  Do yourself a favor, get a (half)size up.
