A Shoe that Punches Above it's Weight Class

First off, prepare to order a half-size down as these shoes run a bit large. They are advertised as having a Nike fit, but I've found with Vostey's dress shoe line that you will probably need to step down in sizes for a good fit. I ordered these in a size 10 and they were too large, after a quick return and repurchase of a size 9.5, they fit great.The quality is good for the money (it's a $35 shoe, I had zero expectations going in). You can tell that this shoe is made with a faux leather that has been softened and polished for a nice clean look. Overtime the shoes will develop wrinkles from bending, but this is not uncommon with dress shoes (I have Bostonian's and J&M's with these characteristics). The toe box is reinforced helping the shoe retain it's shape over time, which I think is a nice touch for such a well-priced shoe; however the stiffener behind the heel doesn't wrap as much as I'd like it to (once again, a $35 shoe, so I can't really be picky or upset).The welting of the shoe is real, however it is worth noting that the sole is probably glued to the upper and the welts may only be there for aesthetics, though you won't see me complaining about this.As for comfort, this shoe won't feel like walking on clouds, but it won't feel like you're walking on a bed of nails either. If your constantly on your feet, you may want to invest in some insoles, otherwise these shoes are perfectly comfortable for someone who sits at their desk most of the day.Overall, I'd rate this shoe pretty favorably and would recommend this shoe to anyone looking to add to their professional wardrobe. These shoes are a great bang for your buck option and I would place the true value of these at a Bostonian-level as they remind me of my old Bostonian Rhodes shoes.
