A classic style of shoe with a reliable fit. The leather started a bit stiff but broke in nicely and now it's my favorite pair of dress shoes. Wonderful with a very wide variety of outfits.
I just received the shoes, and out of the box they look beautiful. Leather has some shine to it, but not too much, it does not look artificial or cheap corrected grain. Tried them on, and they fit snug but comfortable, just like they should. They run true to size, just like other cole haan shoes. I didn't wear them outside yet, but I am sure they will be comfortable. Great buy.
