So like I said, I'm happy to give this product 5 stars because for the money, I doubt there's much better out there. I've gotten tons of compliments already from people that definitely had no idea I only paid about $60/pair for black and umber. And once you get the sizing right, its all good...However, I read all the customer reviews about personal experiences with ordering the correct sizes (which were all over the place), and also read the product description which clearly states that the shoes run 1/2 size large, so order 1/2 size smaller than you typically wear. Because some people said they were true to size, and others claimed to need up to 1.5 sizes smaller, I went with the product description and ordered 1/2 size down; I wear an 11 for everything and have most of my life, so I ordered a 10.5.When I received the shoes, they looked like flippers. I could have stored my wallet in the tip of my shoe and still had wiggle room for my toes.I returned both pairs for free through amazon due to "inaccurate website description", and re-purchased them at a size 10 (now a full size down). Even though they are still a tad too large, they now fit more comfortably and the laces tie tight without the inside and outside quarters smashing together (a clear sign your shoes are too big). I could have probably fit just as well if not better into a size 9.5, allowing room for the leather to expand with wear, but this wasn't a big deal for meMY RECOMMENDATION is that you START with a full size down and see where it goes from there. I could have probably fit just as well if not better into a size 9.5 (1.5 sized smaller than my normal), allowing room for the leather to expand with wear, but this wasn't a big deal for me. The shoes definitely run way too large to ever be considered true to size, and for me, the half size down was still way too big. You have to understand that shoes are not meant to be bought without trying on, so it's inevitable that buying shoes online will result in sizing issues every now and then. As long as amazon keeps their wonderful return policies in effect, exchanging poorly sized shoes is a breeze.I'll give it a 4 star, because honestly, the shipping was great, however this shoe was not for us. Way too long and narrow towards the front of the shoe, and it just did not meet the style were going for for our wedding. Either way, great service and I was able to do my return with no issues.Very beautiful shoes that seem to be well made and are really comfortable. They run exceptionally large however. I typically wear a nine, and after reading the reviews I decided to go with an 8 as others said they ran very large. An 8 was still not a small enough size to order, I definitely should have gone with a 7.5 as the shoes ran pretty long.I have had these shoes for about a month and consistently get good comments from friends and colleagues. The shoes are comfortable. The shoes use notches with a stretchable fabric to allow you to slip the shoes on, this also makes the shoe feel like it is a bit too large. At first I was not a fan of this feature as it made the shoes feel loose. But I have actually grown accustomed to it, and since I have to wear the shoes sometimes for 12 hours it allows my feet to swell a little without it getting too tight.Calzo 11 y los compre y me quedaron 1 pulgada grande, asi que los vendi y volvi a pedirlos y esta vez pedi 10 y me quedaron de maravilla, los zapatos lucen muy bien para su precio, el estilo talla bien si vistes Slim fit, son puntiagudos y pues ese es el estilo de ellos, te recomiendo si los compras, pide una talla menos, le doy 4 estrellas y no 5 porque se ven muy bien los zapatos pero tallan mas grande de lo normal, solo esoI have bought these shoes twice now for my husband and not because there is something wrong with the durability but, rather the shoes themselves look great. My husband loves these shoes for the plain yet, sophisticated look. It's his favorite go to shoes when wearing a suit. He own several colors of the same plain toe design and depending on the color of his suit, he wears the matching shoe. My only disappointment is that it seems like it will soon be phased out of the Marino line.Really great dress shoes for men. Super stylish. I got a lot of compliments the first time i wore them. The toe is long but that is the style. It does not effect the feel or fit. Best of all, they are super comfortable to wear. I don't like wearing hard dress shoes but these were not a problem. They seem to be well constructed too. Bought one pair at first to see how I liked them. I liked them so much that i got a pair in black as well. Can't beat the price for a men's dress shoe.Shoes actually have more style and appeal than pictures show.No complaints from my nephew who wore them for his wedding ceremony and the reception.
