I was really impressed by the look and construction of this shoe. It looks expensive and feel very well put together. Fit is fine. It's not a casual or athletic sho, but is as comfortable as one would expect in a dress shoe. The packaging was good. But be warned. There is a VERY strong smell. I kepr these outside in a storage shed ofr a couple of days. I took them on a business trip and they made the whole hotel room smell. However I am pleased to report that after a couple weeks, the smell has been greatly reduced. The price is so goos that I would buy again in the future, just knowing that they'll need to be aired out for a couple weeks.I bought these shoes for a formal ceremony. Style-wise, I love them and they go perfectly with my belt which is essential! The only problem is that they fit WAY TOO BIG. I had to use some thick socks which was quite embarrassing. But ultimately, I’d recommend buying these!I normally wear 15 1/2 US. I ordered 10.5 and there was three inches of empty space in front of my big toe.I ordered 10, and they were still too large. I hope the 9.5 will fit.It is a very nice shoe for the money. I need black shoes for concerts inVienna and Prague. No need to walk far or dance in them?I bought these for a wedding. They were fine. These are not for everyday wear.The product is very good for the price. I’ve had an issue with mine after months using but the seller replaced it in 1 day after I contacted them. Great customer service!!Great productI was looking for a nice dress shoe that wasn't too flashy and this fit the bill. It's the type of shoe that can be used with multiple outfits, so its versatility makes it a good value too. Really love the color.The shoes are well built and look great. The 9 1/2 size I ordered came bigger than the 9 1/2 size from the brands I used to buy. I guess this is one risk of buying online.
