First thing, these things SMELL! There is a very noticeable chemical odor coming from these, it is so pungent that co-workers have commented I should leave them on the roof of my car to air out. If you are sensitive to smells, you should avoid these. After owning them for a few weeks the smell is still there but it is not as noticeable.Second thing, the "Suede" lining sounds nice, however it makes putting them on a pain because it pulls on your socks.Third, they say to purchase a size larger than normal, however if you have large feet, say a size 15, don't get the size 14, they will be too tight. The size 15 did fit perfectly.These look great, but they are not a great shoe. I do not count on them for long term durability. That said, I wear them at work (office job) all day about once/twice a week. I feel for the price I paid, this shoe is a fashionable good value.you need an insole with arc support to be more comfortable. It's not just one size bigger but 1 1/2 bigger. I though it was made in Switzerland but no it was made in ChinaI ordered my size, a men's 11, and they felt about a full size too large when they arrived. The top of the shoe around your ankle offers no padding at all. It's just hard leather rubbing against your Achilles while your foot bangs around all the empty space in there. The second star is because they looked sharp, but I just can't see these being comfortable for any length of time.Too uncomfortable to wear without cushioning insoles. Got several positive comments on them!I have sevear ostio arthuritus and just sitting around they are comfortable I cant walk long or far at a time but these are better than any I have tried going to order another pair in another color you want be dissapointedI don't know why the manufacture can't make the shoes at a regular size. They need to make small size for people like me. Size 6; 6.5. It is so sad that they can't make the shoes in small size. Disappointed customer...Great looking shoe, and comfortable, however they're probably at least one half size too large. I should have returned them for a smaller size, but since I really needed a pair to wear the day they arrived, I kept them.
