All of the same high quality as Madden or comparable classic shoe brands. I wear classic shoes to work every day, so I change a lot of different ones in a year. This is one of the best values I have found so far. The insole is soft enough not to give me heel pain and the sole doesn't chatter like some of the higher end designer labels. Enough style and class without being too frilly or making you look too trendy. I also find that the single riser material doesn't look as cheap as it does in this price range. Leather seems to be of better quality than shoes for the same price. For tans and browns you will need two shades of polish as the tinted tip is a darker color compared to the body. The polish keeps them looking like new for longer. I bought four pairs of these two in dark brown and one each in brown and black. It may sound like I have a shoe problem and I can flat out deny it.
