Well made classic shoe that will last a long time. The key is to get your foot officially measured so you buy the proper length AND width. My husband 'thought' he knew his correct shoe size, but the original shoes he purchased didn't fit well and it wasn't until after getting his foot measured that he found the right size. You can't go wrong with these shoes. He has a second pair that he took to the shoe shine and put a high shine polish on for a tux shoe.
The sole is extremely stiff with no padding or cushion. This sort of old-fashioned design is not practical, and I have no clue how people can wear these things for hours on end. It feels like you’re walking on a wooden plank… If you’re fine with that, then they do look nice (though I’m not sure they’re worth the price).
