Not entirely what I was expecting. It's been a few years since I had Florsheim shoes and wanted black wingtips before starting a new job in a few days. The Florsheim I remember was better quality. They almost look like patent leather they're so shiny... Almost. I guess that could be OK as it seems like less polishing will be needed. They were a bit snug when I put them on the first time an hour ago... Need to break them in by Monday... But already have softened up and feeling pretty damn comfy. At least the fit is like old Floresheim. We will see about the rest.--------------5 months later ... These have met all,expectations and bumping it up to 5 stars. I wear the hell out of them.. They're glove soft on the inside.. Now looking for a brown pair.
