Purchased these for my husband and they are great looking shoes and I got a really good deal on them at the time of purchase. They don't have the typical leather sole light most SA shoes, but hey.. it is what it is. I will say that although the shoes arrived in a SA box, they were just kind of thrown in there without all of the brand new packaging, so I don't know if the pair I got was a return or not... they aren't worn, just didn't have all of the pretty paper and stuffing. If you can snag them at a deal they are definitely a good looking shoe.I will update after Christmas when my husband has the chance to see them.These are absolutely the BEST PAIR OF SHOES I'VE EVER OWNED! They are about a half size too large but this is common when it comes to Stacy Adams. I've owned maybe 7 or 8 pairs of Stacy Adams shoes in my lifetime and these by far are the nicest ones. Very comfortable (again, take a half size off your normal dress shoe size) and they are stunning in appearance. Purchase these and trust me, you won't be disappointed.FYI: I own the Cognac version of these and they're beautiful. I plan of purchasing the tan next however the brown and Blue pair makes me drool. Practicality overrides 'wants' here so the brown and Blue will have to wait for awhile -- UNLESS -- the fabulous people at Stacy Adams throws me a deal ;-)Stacy Adams shoes appear to run about a half size larger than expected… although I can’t be for certain. That said, these shoes fit much better than a pair that I purchased at the same time for double the price from the same namebrand. These shoes (Cognac) are simply beautiful. I love them. They are stylish and look nice with a variety of colors of pants I have. For the price, they can’t be beat! I’d definitely recommend them!Very nice shoes. I have received a few compliments. I have owned many Stacy Adams dress shoes over the years and while they are very good looking, you can expect to only get about 1 year out of them if you wear them about twice a week for business. Knowing that, I still buy them as they are priced reasonably. With Stacy Adams I always have to order a 1/2 size smaller.Ordered a size 10D my normal size. Way to long. Returned for a 9 1/2. Very nice shoe. Unique styling. Promptly received the smaller size (thanks Amazon) but sadly still too long. Ever shoe in my closet is a 10M or 10D. Not sure what scale they are using for sizing. Still an attractive shoe but just not suited for me. Returned for refund on second try.Even though I have worn them yet. I love these shoes. They look so nice. They are Stacy's so I suspect that they will wear well. My other pair of Stacy's are great shoes with good durability. I expect nothing less for these. They get 5 stars for look alone and as I stated early. I expect them to be comfy and durable.My dad is a pastor..... So you know it's super important for him to look neat from head to toe. These are perfect for finishing touch. It gives a umph to the outfit. I also love the fact that it came in larger sizes, it's so hard to buy shoes for my dad. Overall great buy.Amazing shoes for the price. Should have listened to the reviews on the size. Order a size smaller than you normally wear.perfect
