These are beautiful shoes (my sixth pair!!), versatile because you can switch the kiltie and they have a different look. Getting lots of compliments. I went a size down for these because they run a little big usually order a size 43 but I'm fine with a size 42, I was a little nervous about the scuff marks mentioned in other reviews but didn't have that problem, yes the leather is a bit stiff but nothing a couple of wears can't fix. All in all, you will not be disappointed.

These shoes are fantastic; they are gorgeous and comfortable

These shoes are so awesome the fix is perfect and they look great. They are a bit heavy but they are very well made and good quality

These shoes are stylish and a timeless trend.

OK, so these are WAY more than I would normally spend on a pair of shoes, but I really loved the style, so swallowed hard and went for it. My thinking was that rather than buy 3 or 4 pairs of shoes that I "like," I'd spend the same amount of money on one pair that I LOVED and was high quality. I do love them and get a ton of compliments whenever I wear them, which is almost every day. When they first arrived, they were stiff, a bit tight, and made noise with every footstep (due to the stiffness I would think.) They do take a couple of weeks for the leather to loosen up and mold to your foot and then they're amazing. The only thing they could possibly improve on would be to add a tiny bit more cushioning to the insole. Otherwise, they are amazing and I'm so happy I made this purchase. And, I know they will last for years, not a season, like a less expensive shoe.
