The price is basically unbeatable, the style is simple and garners compliments from people throughout the day. I previously purchased a light brown/reddish pair of these same shoes in a 10.5, but the toes were super tight, so I ordered these in an 11 and they fit very well. They felt extra comfortable upon first trying them on, and I was excited to wear them to work the next day. What I did not anticipate was the absolute worst calf and ankle pain Ive had since running track in high school 16 years ago. The first night, my legs were sore. The second night, I could barely walk. Im not even exaggerating here. I work in a low-key, small family business retail environment, so its not like Im doing anything physical. Im on my feet all day, but thats about it. I bought some insoles, which turned my $46.00 shoes into $60.00 shoes. They eliminated the ankle pain by raising my ankle up a bit over the stiff tongue, but the calf pain was worse that night. I wanted these to be my go to budget daily work shoes, but I think Ill have to spring for a bit more. But, they do look really good, so theres that.

I ordered these in hopes that the negative reviews in regards to the chemical smell were just a bunch whiny exaggerators. Alas, these shoes’ smell is pungent beyond anything you’ve ever smelled. But still I wanted to give them a chance and since I didn’t really need them right away I let the “air out” for about two weeks. Even after that tho, the smell hardly faded. I wore these to work once and my whole office smelled of airplane fuel for the whole day. That’s when I decided to return them. That’s definitely not normal or acceptable. I don’t know what they douse these in but it’s horrible. Two stars because they were comfortable and looked nice!

Accidentally got 2 pairs and didnt feel like doing a return, so Ive been wearing one pair as my every day work shoe for about a month or two through all kinds of weather (hot, rainy (getting soaked), humid). The factory new smell is FRESH in the shoe, wearing them about 3 days either got me used to it or made it wear off. These are pretty comfortable for all day work (my job requires a lot of getting up from behind the desk, kneeling, squatting) and Id say these shoes have held up so far. I wouldnt depend on them but for these last few months they have been great for everyday wear. Decent for the price. Honestly on the fence about buying another color for everyday use till the wheels fall off.

One of the best dress shoes Ive ever had ! Ill start with the single con - it has a really strong chemical smell - I knew that even before I got them but I knew that I will know how to handle the issue. What I did was - put them on the edge of my window for a few days, I knew I wasnt going to use them right away so it was airing for a few good days and that got rid of the smell. So - the pros are they look amazing, they are very well made, look exactly as described and most importantly - I got a BIG compliment for the toughest ice-cold guy in the wedding I attended (check the picture for the shoes and suit). Needless to say - I AM VERY PLEASED!

After reading many reviews, I had no idea what to expect with these shoes. Fortunately I was pleasantly surprised! These shoes come well packaged. Once I took them out of their individually wrapped sleeves, I got a whiff of the chemical smell some of the other reviewers mentioned. It was not unpleasant at all, but of course thats subjective. I left them in the closet overnight and the smell diminished enough that I could no longer smell them in the morning. I went ahead and took the risk of wearing them for a full workday. Every other pair of shoes Ive ordered have come way smaller than what I expect. With these shoes, I ordered 11s and got true 11s. Perfect fit. Thats probably why they gave me no trouble the entire day. Ive paid five times what these shoes cost and had to break them in - these immediately just fit. Ill be getting more of these in other colors as well. Ill come back and change my rating if these shoes do fall apart in a month or so. At this price, Im hoping for at least 6-9 months of good use. Have you ever watched Boardwalk Empire? Well, I got the black wingtips, and I must say, I felt like Nucky Thompson today wearing these! Follow up: Well its been over an entire year now and these shoes are still holding up! I also ended up purchasing the brown and orangish pairs. I still definitely wear the black pair more than any of the others. The inside part of the shoe that your foot rests on is showing some wear finally. I was thinking about taking them to a professional shoe shiner to get them shined but at the price, I may just toss these and buy a brand new pair!
