There is a lot to love about these shoes. the design looks beautiful, the leather upper is comfortable and the shoe is significantly lighter than most elegant shoes. Slip-ons are always preferable to lace-ups in my opinion and the price seems reasonable for the quality you get. The only reason I'm not giving them 5 stars is that the fit is a bit odd. They seem too tight and too long to wear. I wear a size 10 and that's what I have. To be clear, this isn't uncomfortable, and I suspect guys who grew up in Southern California (like me), went barefoot a lot, and spent a lot of time at the beach tend to have slightly wider legs than usual . So I could forgive a little tight feeling. And maybe the skin stretches over time. But also a small problem is that they are a bit longer at the top. They look classy and I will wear them often as they are a grainy black and go with almost any style and color of trousers. I also love the fact that they can work in both casual shoes and dress shoes depending on what you wear them with. I suspect you'll like them if you're from the east coast and/or don't have wide feet.
