I had intended to do a YT unboxing video but video editing is above my skill set. So I was careful and deliberate with recording first impressions. The model I purchased gets an A grade for style. I have a dozen pairs of quality men's dress shoes and this brown suede model is outstanding in appearance. I typically wear a men's 10 1/2 and in some sneakers or shoes, size 11. No one's foot or manufacturers' sizing and last is identical and everyone knows that. Wearing a standard dress sock, first impressions in the house was that the shoe was a bit loose. I could feel my foot sliding around inside the shoe. (I will wear a heavier sock on the next test). Outside in the bright sun, the beauty of the shoe was obvious, and perfect for going out in casual dress but with an extra touch of upscale. Really outstanding appearance, for sure. Anyway, first impressions during my walk were that there's too much material in the shoe (for my foot, of course). Here I'm referring to that the amount of leather surrounding the foot was intended for a fatter foot than mine; one with more girth. Not necessarily a larger size. Two guys might wear a shirt with a sleeve length of 32 and one has much larger biceps and forearms than the other; the fit will be too baggy for the man with thinner forearms. That's what I'm getting at. Out of the box, the shoes are not uncomfortable, and not comfortable either. First impressions on my foray are that the sole and foot bed are too flat and for that reason can't possible offer enough support to be comfortable. Again, this is out of the box, so not proper to conclude anything yet. I stopped to tighten the laces and secure the shoe around my foot, and that did help with the 'too loose' feel, but didn't improve overall comfort. The day (July 11, 2025, which is Manhattanhenge in New York City) was about two miles walking overall, and I was glad to get out of these shoes. But, again, that was right out of the box, and I will continue with my review, including wearing a slightly thicker sock, and replacing the insole or adding an insert. I edited a few video clips anyway and the upload feature won't accept video files. Annoying.
