I ordered these for my brother—his third pair of Campers and second pair of the Beetle style. He can't say enough good things about the shoes and has said they are the "perfect shoe" for men. No break in period—feel comfortable the moment you put them on. It took him a round of exchanges to get his sizing right with the EU sizing, but found the perfect fit that has been consistent across pairs. He's worn an earlier pair of canvas Beetles through some incredibly rigorous outdoor work and they washed up in the washing machine easily and came out looking like new again—this after he has had them almost a year. He's not easy on them and the two prior pairs are holding up incredibly well. He likes the Beetle style because there is a higher "arch" of material at the back of the shoe that keeps his feet from slipping out of the shoe (he also has the Camper Peu Cami sneaker and it has a lower back that slips more easily—still a great shoe, but he doesn't like the slipping in his active work). This particular pair is very attractive and could be easily worn in an office setting. Seems to straddle casual and slightly more formal well. Looks like the same great construction he's had with other Campers. Highly recommended by my brother who has high standards for comfortable shoes. I might add that my brother is very thrifty about most things, but feels these shoes are worth every penny he paid for them.
