Very good dress shoes, but although the length is good, the width around the instep is very wide. The laces were good square leather but didn't look good as they protruded too much and ruined the look of the shoe. I put on the usual round brown shoelaces, which looked much neater. Even with the laces fully tightened, there was plenty of room on either side of my legs. I bought them for vacation and found them very comfortable on a 4 hour flight. Not the kind of shoes you have to walk in a lotβ¦
