These shoes are beautiful. I recommend getting a few wears in prior to an all day wear(like a wedding or work). A little tight near the toes, but, no blisters. No show socks look great with this as well as traditional dress socks

Amazing choice

These shoes were a gift and boy are they amazing. The look is so nice. Very well made. Extremely nice. Might be a little tight initially, but bought shoe stretchers just to nudge that extra bit. Very happy with my purchase.

For me, buying shoes on-line is intimidating, sort of like "do-it-yourself-surgery". No regrets on this purchase. As other reviewers have mentioned, they are great looking, stylish shoes. Even the box they come in is upscale. The dark brown color has a nice rich tone to it and fits true to size for me (10 medium). I also like the non-slip grips on the sole. Good for business casual or dress-up occasions.

As to comfort, at first I was worried. They were incredibly stiff. After walking in them for about an hour they felt completely broken in and comfortable. I agree that arch support could be better. Overall, very pleased.

The shoes have a great looking but in my case, the shoes sit just below my ankle and every time I would walk, it would caused me pain in my ankles. I tried to buy 2 kinds of insoles to raise my foot and avoid it but it didn't work either because the insole closed the space between my foot and the shoe and that caused another kind of pain. At first I thought it was normal because the shoes were new but after a couple of weeks I decided to stop wearing them (yes I know it took me long to realize but I guess I really liked them a lot to sustain the pain for a few weeks). My advice to you is that if you feel any kind of discomfort and you think it's normal because the shoes are new, take into consideration that the discomfort may not go away.
