Review on Florsheim Reveal JR Bit Ornament K Boys' Shoes by Jeremy Carpenter

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Worthy of a child, not an adult!

First let me tell you a little bit about myself to get you started: Adult Approximately 5ft 1in Small rims Usually size 5 or 5.5 on men's shoes I have to buy boys' shoes all the time because I'm small feet (usually I'm in the 5, 5.5 range for men's shoes). Since most men's shoes are not that small, I resort to buying shoes for boys. For example in Florsheim JR Monk Strap Oxfords in cognac. I originally ordered a size 5 but they were too big for the size. The length was decent but the width of the shoe was probably about an inch more. So I ordered a size smaller, 4.5, and although they are still very wide, they are handy if the strap is pulled very tight. Which brings me to the strap - THE BUCKLE IS NOT A REAL BUCKLE! I was very devastated when I was looking for a pair of shoes that were stylish enough to wear to work but casual enough to wear regularly. Unfortunately they are on velcro. It's not the end of the world, but not what I was looking for in a pair of shoes. The general appearance of the shoe is decent. The leather is honestly a terrible quality but I wasn't expecting it to be amazing for the price. However, I was hoping it would be better than what it is. Inside there is a leather lining that makes the shoes (along with the insole) very comfortable and velvety. Very comfortable to wear all day. I wore them once when I walked 8 miles across the city of Chicago with no fatigue or pain and I don't usually have particularly heavy legs. Overall, I think this would be a good shoe for a younger child, but for an adult, you really can't do that in the professional world. As they are used off label I don't mention them much but I expect more from a reputable brand like Florsheim. So, breakdown: Comfort: ALeather Quality: COverall Design: CPrice: C I don't call them many, but I expect more from a reputable brand like Florsheim.
