I have flat feet and it has made finding comfortable shoes someone of a pain. I saw these shoes and thought for the price I could give them a try. They are really attractive shoes that fit well and look great with a suit or some slacks.My only issue was with the shoe laces which weren't put in correctly for the pair I got. A little thing, but we know how shoelaces are not exactly the easiest thing to get right, especially when it comes to the length.Overall pleased with these and will be looking to get others that can be worn with other outfits. Great buy.I am a man with normal width feet. I buy size 12 dress shoes and I've never had any problems. Until now!These shoes are so ridiculously narrow, I can barely fit my foot into them. Once I finish the struggle to get my foot into the shoe, the next problem is that there is inadequate width for toes at the bottom. Oh there's plenty of *length* there, if you have narrow, almost sharpened-pencil-shaped-feet that come to a point like a stick figure. But... just not if you have toes, those awful things. The maker of these shoes didn't anticipate toes, I guess, which really knocks off a couple of stars in my view.Listen, I worked for two years in a shoe store in high school. I have tried on all kinds of shoes and I haven't seen anything like this, not even from the narrow sizes. It's really an experience.I suppose my assessment is this: if you're a person with really narrow feet - this is gonna be great. They're actually pretty comfortable to walk in and so far they seem to be holding up alright to this horrible winter. After getting them and packing them into a suitcase for a flight (making the mistake of not actually trying them on first), I wore them for a two-day academic job interview a couple of weeks ago and aside from my pinkie toes feeling like they might fall off at the end, my feet were mostly fine. But in all seriousness, if you're a person with regular feet, don't be drawn in by the price point on this one.Oh right, and the laces that come with the shoes are not really long enough. Every time I've worn them, it's difficult to get enough slack for a proper tie, let alone some sort of double-knotting business. Yeesh.I’ve had these shoes for less than five months. Unfortunately, The stitching on one of them has already ripped, making them unwearable.Tried thhese on as soon as they arrived and found them very comfortable, and a perfect fit. The only negative thing I found was that the lade on the right shoe was inserted strangely and thisa was nota major problem at all. Whst was a problem was trying to re-lace the shoe while my cat was battingand pouncing on the shoelacee while I was trying to work on it. Not your problem I know. Very satisfied cudtomer!The shoe fit perfectly, but the material is very cheap. They hurt my feet. If you're looking for a comfortable to shoe, I would look elsewhere. But if you're looking for a quick shoe to where for the occasional event, it does the job.Ugh, and that could be most of this review. I bought these in the right size but the fit is awful. I've never had a pair of shoes this uncomfortable. They are so rigid with little to no flex. The width is incredibly narrow all the way along the front of your feet.Usually with synthetic soles these shoes never last more than a year. They are just a cheap option to keep your feet dry. I knew that, and to be honest I didn't give them a one star review because they look decent. These are just so tight. I will give them a chance and see if it improves, or they loosen up over time. If they don't I will just throw them out as I wouldn't wish them on anyone else.I'm giving you an honest opinion here, and that is to stay away.Just an update to say I boxed these up and returned them. Just couldn't do it.NiceLet's face it, nobody expects a $40 pair of shoes to be all that special. And face it again - they come from China so they're not going to be as well as normal American quality. However, I'm rating it 5 stars for value because they do look very nice and even though I recommend buying a half-size larger than you normally would, you can expect it to fit and be functional. A+ for price to value ratio.
