I really like the look of these shoes but the construction and material is really lacking. Much like others who have reviewed them, I had an issue with the cheap plastic that is on the sides an on the front. In particular, the front section scuffs really badly. After about 2 months of daily wear, the material busted right open. If they were priced at around much less I would keep buying new pairs, but at this price, I expect a little better.

I bought these shoes last summer and after occasional use they really did not stand up to my expectations. I thought the entire shoe was made of leather but only the top portion was the other had almost a plastic feel. The front of the shoe gets scuffed against the pavement and now the leather has come completely apart and looks bad. Can't wear them when it rains or my feet get wet. The support is minimal, too. Not worth the money and a bad investment.

comfortable shoes.. however the front bottom portion of the shoe comes apart very quickly. Within about a month of casually wearing them, they began to break apart. After about a month and a half they were garbage.

These are very comfortable shoes. They look good with jeans or dress pants. I am very pleased with the overall look, style, and comfort.

I'm usually between a 9.5 and 10. I got a 9.5 and it was way too small. 10 was a bit too loose at the heel so they ride a bit when I'm walking, but I still really like them. They look good and most people go 'wow great shoes'. I asked someone who randomly said that to me why and she said because they look like $500 Italian loafers.

Dear shoe, where have you been all my life? I love this shoe. Not sure why it took me so long to buy it. Extremely comfortable and stylish.

Wear for work and play. Great with jeans, khakis or shorts. Usually wear a 9 1/2 and those were like boats, so I bought the 9 and thy fit fine. Order half a size smaller.

When I first tried these shoes on they were a little tight around the top of my foot where the slip-on part is. After walking around a bit they felt fine though. Very stylish and look great with jeans and dress pants. I'm a little worried because the bottom isn't solid and seems like it might wear quickly. I'll see in a couple months.
