I have a few shoes including premium brands with similar style and I have to say that these Jousen Causal shoes are really worth a look. - I received both the black and brown styles and was shocked at how well they fit right out of the box. Great laces and comfortable walking for my toes. Breathable oxfords with holes are the best of them all. Happy to have received this. (Even the experience of opening shoes, taking them out of separate cloth bags, etc. was more than I thought - I thought I'm only buying shoes in the store's signature style - got more than I expected).
