The shoes are really fantastic and real value for money as they look just as good as other well known brands like Ecco and Cole Haan. However, there are two caveats to keep in mind before making a purchase. Shoes DEFINITELY run at least half a size smaller and the toe box is quite narrow and low so I recommend at least half a size up (I usually wear a 9.5 so as many other reviewers say I ordered a size 10 but it still fits tight 2 The shoes have no cushioning, it's like there are no insoles in the shoes (there are insoles but for me there are almost none and they seem too cheap) so I ended up buying a pair Insoles to replace the insole.
