Men's Dress Shoes

Okay, I’m used to spending big bucks on men’s dress shoes. I’m talking $300 plus for American made shoes. They are recraftable (resole-able) for another $100 each time. But since Covid, I don’t go to the office as often. One of my black dress shoes needs to be re-soled, and it will be. Just not now. So I ran into these shoes on Amazon. It’s hard to argue with the price. Literally 10% of what I have been paying. So, are these shoes 90% lower in quality? The short, simple answer is, surprisingly, no. Just the opposite. Upon receipt, I inspected them carefully and they looked pretty darned decent. I was looking for any excuse to plop them back in the box and return them. I couldn’t find anything. I appreciate that the leather upper is smooth and mildly shiny. This is a wing tip style shoe, so I’m impressed that the extensive stitching was evenly spaced. The leather detailing that I expect on a wing tip is also all there. Inside the shoe, it is lined from the toes all the way to the heel box… nice! And that leather feels surprisingly supple. That is something I would expect on a much more expensive shoe. But definitely not at this price point. Hmm. I even liked the wax laces they chose. They are a little thicker and have more than adequate length. The shoe’s eyelets have interior facing metal grommets to protect against stretching and tear out of the leather and helps protect the laces against friction wear, as they are tightened and loosened over time. Now having that detail, at this price point, has raised both of my eyebrows. Double hmm. Now I am really impressed. The only thing that I didn’t like was that the stitching—that joins the uppers to the sole—is white. I needed to polish these shoes anyway, so I figured I’d see what would happen if I put black polish on the stitching. I’m happy to say that the uppers shine up very nicely, to a high gloss. This was done with just a little bit of buffing, using a traditional horse hair bristled brush. And followed by a buffing cloth. Although I didn’t do it, the leather is smooth enough that I probably could have spit shined them. And those pesky white stitches on the top side of the soles? Well I’m happy to report that they are now definitely black. Turning the shoe over, I can visually see a lump where the shank is supposed to be. That’s a good thing. Not all shoes have a shank. It helps to support the arch. That’s another nice detail. I am expecting the shank to be plastic at this price point. So I am utterly shocked to report to you that a magnet sticks to the bottom of the shoe. That shank is steel! Now I am amazed! We’re talking mind blown, Purple smoke everywhere. Speaking of details, I was very surprised to see the nicely done wing tip detailing, from on top of the shoe, carried over to the bottom of the sole. Wow. I have never seen that before. That’s surprising. Now it is important to point out that the sole is some man made material. Definitely not leather. But that’s okay. Especially in the wet, leather wears out quickly, if you don’t wear rubber over shoes. One less thing to fuss about. The heel itself has a band/layer of rust brown material sandwiched between black layers. I wonder if that is a cork or bamboo material? Having walked in these shoes, on concrete and tile floors, last week, there is a noticeable level of cush, or give. They will definitely not to be confused with sneakers. But for dress shoes, this is a pleasant and surprising experience. The first day, I wore them at home, over the weekend and I’m glad I did that. They needed time to adjust to my feet. Any dress shoe that I have ever worn needs that. But after that, these shoes have been pleasant enough to walk around in at work. I’d have to say that these shoes give me at least 90% of what I would expect from my $300+ shoes for around 10% of the cost. In my estimation, at their current price point, they constitute an excellent deal. And especially if you are just breaking into the business world and need a good pair of interview shoes, these are definitely respectable… just be sure to put black polish on the white stitches. Oh, BTW, I have wider feet and I ordered the shoe wide. After the initial stretching, they fit nicely. So, in the final analysis, what do I think? I have to say, yes, these shoes definitely get my recommendation. Especially if price is a huge factor, then these shoes constitute an excellent deal.

Great shoe! I would just add some support or gel but otherwise comfortable and look. Wide as advertised. Lightweight.

Very nice but one shoe seems to fit perfect and comfortable while the other seems to fit smaller and tighter and hurts my foot very badly.

Comfortable and stylish men’s shoes. They were a great value for the quality and look. They dress up real nice and look high end.

I bought this ones mainly because I have used them before and they are great for dancing. Specially salsa dancing. They look really stylish with formal cloth. A great blend of classic "wing tip" with modern details and smooth lines. They fit nice with thin and medium socks and have medium arc support. They will feel better with each use and are very good for salsa ballroom dancing turns on the forefoot and ruber on the heel for safe stops and stability. They fit true to size and foot stays locked in place with the lacing it provides. Great presentation with the box and awsome price for great quality formal shoes.

These shoes were clearly a previous return. The left was untouched and smelled new, but the right shoe had a smoky, wet-tobacco odor and two interior stains. Because we didn't have time to order a replacement, we had to sanitize and clean them ourselves. They were unworn but poorly handled. The team would benefit from double-checking returned items before restocking them for resale. The shoes themselves are comfortable and true to size. Stains came right out.

These shoes look and fit great! This was an amazing value. The shoes fit true to size. I love them.

su color su calidad y la forma

Son muy elegantes, los uso para trabajar y a dia de hoy, con el trote que tienen, siguen casi perfectos. Muy buena compra

Zapatos a la medida de mi talla y material de excelente calidad. Por la proporción de mi pie, puede ser incómodo en el talón después de periodos largos de uso.

I honestly don’t consider myself a shoe person, but since a wedding was coming up, I need some dress shoes that would complement my suit. I actually had ordered this pair about a week before this new pair came and was totally amazed at the quality value proposition. First of all they come in a beautiful box and each shoe is individually wrapped there aren’t just loosely packed into a box with tissue paper holding them apart. There’s actually a small bag that each shoe is packed in. I thought that was pretty impressive but the star of the show really is the shoe and the quality of the manufacturing. This has a classic ox blood color that may not show up in the video perfectly. The stitching is exemplary and the soul is leather from what I can tell. There’s no shortage of attention to detail in this product. That’s for sure. From the stitching to the soul to the style of the product and speed at which you get it delivered it’s quite an impressive product and the service is just second to none. I usually have issues with leather shoes being hard to wear right away and you need to break them in, but these were quite amazing. The first time I put them on so so comfortable. You will need to be careful about the wide versus regular size and you may need to have to go down a half size from what you normally get since they might be compensating for the fact that this is more of a point issue than a standard round toe shoe. But regardless, I ended up keeping two pair of these one for me and one for one of my sons. I think these are probably one of my favorite shoes. I’ve purchased in the last 15 years. I think for the dollar this is quite an impressive product really beautiful and really well made

Zapatos de buena calidad, vale la pena
