I bought these for my husband as he has a job that requires office attire but he is on his feet a lot. In general, the shoes are very good. They are comfortable to wear and the fit feels precise. The bottom has excellent grip so it isn't slippery, which is an important factor in its industry. The skin is extremely smooth and shiny, which is its only complaint. It's a bit like patent leather. Overall this is a great shoe and looks well made. Ours didn't have a color flaw like some of the other reviewers. My first thought is that they are great for men who work in schools or hospitals and spend the day on their feet. They're also great for men in the hospitality industry or factory managers who want a professional shoe that's comfortable yet offers traction.
