I've been searching for double monk strap shoes for a while and came across these shoes from Hugo Boss by chance. I was nervous about purchasing these shoes online, as I've never sized myself for any of Hugo Boss' shoes in a store and these looked somewhat narrow towards the toe area. What typically fits me well is 9D(M) US size - every pair of Hush Puppies shoes in this size has fit me perfectly whether purchased in-store or online. With that in mind, I decided to try my luck and go ahead and place the order.After I received the Brossio Dark Brown shoes and tried them on I was over the moon because the size and fit was bang-on - 9D(M) was perfect here too. I've been wearing the shoes since they arrived and I find them comfortable even after having them on for several hours at a stretch. It took some time to get used to putting on/removing the monk straps as the buckles/straps aren't very big but, now, it's almost second nature. The shoes themselves look and feel as though they will go the distance and at US $140 inclusive of shipping, I reckon I got a great deal. I noticed that the price has now gone up but I reckon they are still fairly priced even at closer to US $185.The only very slight issue I have with these shoes has to do with the colour - they are a bit darker in the real world than the pictures suggest. I don't blame the shoes for this but if you're considering this shoe or any other suede shoe by deciding solely off a picture online, you may be in for a surprise when you actually receive the shoes. In most cases, I've noticed the shoes are darker to varying degrees but your mileage will vary depending on the brand/seller.Overall, very pleased with these, my first pair of Italian made double monk strap shoes from Hugo Boss.They were great shoes for getting married in. Surprisingly supportive, and I get compliments all the time about them. The color is a little eccentric (let's be honest - purple shoes?), but pretty spot-on as pictured. After having them for almost two years, they're great to wear to church, to some formal events, and sometimes to the office. These shoes were NOT made for long walks around every day, though. They're not something you want to chase a perpetrator, climb a mountain after jumping out of a plane, or run from a pack of wolves in. I mean, if you have no other choice, do what you gotta do, but I'd rather save them for galas and weddings.These shoes were a bargain for the price I paid for them. I have received many compliments each time I've worn them. I just love the color of them. I could not believe the mark down price of the Hugo Boss brand. I would highly recommend these beautiful shoes.If they came in half size, it will be much better. At all, they are very beautiful shoes! For the budget less than 100 bucks, I doubt I can't find better monk straps than them.It would be great if they came in half sizes to give added comfort but they are very beautiful shoeslovely shoe and fit as expected
