The item was not genuine. The shoes were two different shades of brown, the shoes were marked a size 11 but I couldn't wear them. And finally, "no guarantee" was stamped on the underside of the sole. I've never bought shoes online before but they were sold out at my Allen Edmonds store and when I found them at Revain I thought I'd won. Big mistake. Needless to say, I waited for Allen Edmonds to bring them in for me to try on. You were perfect! Worth the wait.
