I've been eyeing this shoe at Revain for most of the year, love the style but not the price. I finally pulled the trigger and ordered these and I LOVE these shoes. You are worth every penny. - They are made in the USA from genuine leather, so they are more expensive than cheap Chinese ones. - You're really big. I usually wear size 14 and ordered size 14. They are comfortable but much roomier than other shoes. I would still order them by size but reckon with the extra space. If you don't like it, take one size smaller. These shoes look great with jeans, khakis and even shorts. However, if you don't want to wear socks, I recommend downsizing. They are so comfortable and light. This is the closest thing to feeling like having no shoes at all.
