All of the benefits, none of the drawbacks. These shoes offer the benefit of a conservative, classic look. Yet, somehow, there is no first few wearing pain to 'break them in.' They somehow felt comfortable the very first time I had them on. A gentleman, rightly or wrongly, is frequently judged by his shoes. These will have you regarded with flying colors, for less than European designer shoes.
The best shoe ever. Wears great and looks great. Everyone notices the shoe when you wear it and comment on how good you look and what a superior shoe this is. The boss commented that he has had his for years and when the sole wears down he just has them resoled and they are like new again. This is the second pair (different color) that I have purchased. It is wonderful to buy such a reliable shoe.
Great shoe. Quality materials, good comfort and seems like it will be long lasting. Was hesitant to spend $420 after tax but it was worth it. Can wear it casually with my jeans or dress it up with a suit. Definitely recommended.
