I bought this for my son as he needed shoes to match his suit and formal wear. They look very chic and trendy, I love the style and he loves how they match his formal wear. But as he walked around in them, he noticed that they felt a bit "loose" even though they were brand new. We are the correct size (men 8.5) but for some reason the heel area is too loose and I think we need to try half a size down for a better fit. Too bad these aren't cheap shoes. If you're between sizes, be sure to round down.
