Over the years I've had several styles of Stacey Adams shoes. SA did a wonderful job making this classic shoe, it's a grade 1 leather shoe! They just arrived in the mail and are perfect for normal width feet. The photos represent the quality of the shoes you are purchasing. They are sturdy and need to be broken in when walking around the house. Now I have 2 pairs in the same style, one is brown and the other is black. I would recommend this shoe to friends without hesitation.
