I have read customer reviews on this shoe. The overall rating of 4.3 out of 5.0 does not inspire confidence. However, Prime's free returns made it easy to try them out. The shoes look and feel great. Multiple 1, 2, and 3 star reviews mention the shoe's fragility. Although these shoes are extremely comfortable, they are not designed to be worn several kilometers a day on a daily basis. I plan to wear them over linen outfits (blazers, trousers and suits) in the summer to keep them fresh. Must be able to wear multiple seasons, limited to 5 to 10 times per season. Several reviewers complained about the leather's hurricane weave, which scratched the tops of bare feet. If you're a Neanderthal with matching feet, these shoes might be uncomfortable. The shoes I buy range from size 15M for Under Armour, Asics and Adidas athletic shoes to size 14M for Allen Edmonds, Cole Haan and this brand. A nice feature not mentioned by the seller is the elastic heel strap that allows the foot to slide easily into the shoe and keeps the foot in a snug and snug fit.
