I wanted my son to wear these shoes to school on "Tuesdays". They remind me of shoes like Sperry and he wanted more soles but still stuck to his dress code. The shoes look great and are worth the price. Unfortunately, due to their size, we cannot carry them. At least 1 size bigger. My son wears Nike a size 10.5 and Cole Hann wears a size 10. We ordered a size 10 and they fit my husband who wears a size 11. He doesn't like the fit so they don't fit him either. My tip: take 1 size smaller. Otherwise, they look like well-made bums.
