The shoes are wonderful and very well made! I bought them as a gift for my husband and he said they were very comfortable. I usually buy Cole Haan sneakers for him and I find they are very similar in style and quality at 1/5 the price. I ordered a size 11 but will consider ordering 1/2 size up if I order again. I will only do this because he has wide feet. They are very attractive and can be worn both in nice shorts and in the office. They make his legs even more attractive. I plan to buy at least 2 more pairs in the near future. I am very impressed! I am confused about the price. Although the shoes are made of cowhide and lined with pigskin, they feel like glove leather. The fact that the shoes can be worn as flip flops or flip flops makes them even more attractive to buy. I love it! He also!
