Great Comfort, Great Looks
These shoes are more comfortable than any other dressy shoe I have ever found. They are almost as comfortable as a gym shoe, are low-maintenance, they last and they are affordable. I wear them for my business-casual work environment where they look great. I am on my third pair and I hope they never stop making this model. These are definitely my favorite and most-worn shoe.
The only quirk is that they come laced with some oddly thick laces that wear out long before the shoe does. Fortunately, that is simple to fix. I find that 27 inch "round casual dress" laces fit correctly, look nice and stay tied much more securely than the slightly thinner, slippery "round dress" laces that are common replacement laces. Just trash the factory lace when you take the shoes out of the box.
The perfect cheap professional shoe
As an attorney, I need to dress up a fair bit, and prefer my shoes in black. I am a no-nonsense person who likes clean, functional designs, and feel that these shoes are perfect for me. As long as the manufacturer makes these, I will buy them. It is amazing to me that leather business/dress shoes of this quality are available for a cheaper price than good sneakers.
Pros of this model:
1. High-quality leather. All of my pairs have worn in gracefully, without any strange wrinkling or other earmarks of low-quality leather.
2. Will take a shine if necessary. If you know how to spit-shine a shoe (ex-Army guy here), you can make these take a mirror finish with work. They also look good for court or other important appearances with a minimal brush shine.
3. Looks good without being shined. The semi-gloss finish retains its look for a long time.
4. Single-piece sole. I have been through more expensive pairs of Italian shoes than I care to count, fully half of which developed sole or heel problems walking the cobblestones of Boston (I don't know if I have a peculiar way of walking or what, but a shoe has subpar design if it's even possible for a heel to fall right off).
5. Good traction for a professional-looking shoe. This is because of the semi-hard rubber sole material and tread design.
6. Comfortable (very).
7. Cheap. You don't have to worry about ruining them with winter salt, or anything else; you can keep a knock-about pair. They are so cheap you can have a pair for every use. I have an extra pair just to throw at the cat. Or I would, if I had a cat.
Cons of this model:
1. Laces which fray easily. (Oh, well. You can't have everything.)
Great Shoe
I am on my 3rd pair of Black and 2nd pair of Brown. I have worn them pretty much every day for the past 7-8 years. The shoe strings are the only thing that have not held up, but that is easily fixed. The sole is not leather, so you do not have to worry about having to constantly have that replaced, if you do alot of walking. I was pleasantly surprised with the value of the shoe offered compared to the price.
