Simple and elegant, these are officially my favorite pair of brown shoes. I already had the same pair in black while trying to find a good brown shoe. Instead of reinventing the wheel, I ordered these and found that I like them even better than the black ones. These are shoes that can function on a variety of levels. It looks young and fashionable, but still fits well in a conservative environment. This can work with suits, business casual and even casual jeans and a t-shirt. A little tip: I actually took half a size smaller than usual and it fits perfectly.
