The workmanship of these shoes is fantastic, great soft leather, great stitching and a very smooth sole. The only downside is that my feet are very wide and although I bought shoes in "W" width, they are still a bit narrow. I've been wearing the shoe for a little over 2 months and the leather has stretched a bit, but the shoe is still a little narrow in width. If you have wide feet these shoes can work, but be prepared to break them in for a while.
