Men's Full-Grain Leather Upper Oxfords

I love the color on these. But then I've always had a fondness for this color blend on a shoe, going back decades. I'm a solid 9 and 1/2, but lately I've noticed shoes seem to be sized differently. And that on casual shoes I've been having to go up to a 10. These fit very solidly. Obviously, the style lends itself towards being tighter. But that's something you expect in a dress shoe of this nature. It has great gripping on the bottom, so you're not going to slip on tile, if you go running down a hallway and make a quick turn. 🙂 There's also an extra layer on the inside of the shoe, so that you're it's not just the leather on the inside, but a kind of suedey material. The leather sheen is basically in the middle, where I typically prefer it. If it was paint, I'd call it a satin finish. As I said in the title, these are surprisingly comfortable. They have a nicely cushioned insole. I've only worn these once, just to test them out. And that was for a little less than an hour, as I walked around doing stuff in the house. As I've gotten older, and have some spinal issues, having a comfortable shoe is more and more important to me. For the amount of time that I wore them, I didn't have any issues. Now I have no idea how I would do wearing them for an entire day, especially on hard surfaces. As you can see in the last pictures, the insole can be easily removed and replaced. So if you have an orthopedic insole you would like to replace it with, this is something you could easily do. Likewise if you wear this one out, it's easy enough to replace.

My brown pair of dress shoes have seen better days, so when I saw these Bruno Marc Men's Classic Leather Dress Shoes, I ordered them. These are lace up shoes in the "Derby" style, and size 13, in brown color. The brown shine looks legit and not like a plastic shine. I wear a 12 1/2, but I usually get a 13 since whole sizes are usually what's offered, and these run true to size. The listing states that they are not water resistant, so I'll be limited to dry days. They have a rubber sole, rather than leather, so they will be more durable on wet pavement and rougher environments. Out of the box they fit well, with the ball of my foot meeting the front bend of the shoe. The heel slipped at first, but within an hour of wear, the slipping became a small movement, which is what a good fitting shoe should do. Within several hours of wear, they started to break in a bit and the more that I wore them, the more comfortable they became, amazingly so. The sole has a good thickness, in that it's not too thick that it hinders walking but not so thin that I feel the "road". The rounded toe gives it a stylish, business look that I was looking for. These are more comfortable than my old leather shoes, with a leather sole, I think that the rubber sole might add a small amount of cushion. It gives good traction on tile and wood flooring My feet feel good after wearing these all-day. A good value for the money.

I am amazed at how good the quality is for these stylish shoes and all for such a low price! I am very picky when it comes to dress shoes... sometimes they are too flat, too broad, or the front of them look kinda funn to me. Another issue with other shoes I bought recently is that they can be uncomfortable - like shoes that scratch the back of your ankle as you walk... not a good feeling after a while. These shoes are so comfortable that I broke them in right away (unlike most other shoes). They don't feel hard and awkward even in the beginning. The front might be slightly longer (on the tip), but this is just a minor detail, and I don't really mind it too much. Besides that, I love the comfort and look. One minor caveat is that I needed to air them out for a couple of days because they did come with a factory smell, but after a few days of leaving them out in the open, it was all good. The shoes are really well-made, and I can tell they will last me a long time. Also, the color is a smooth black color... not too shiny or too dull, just right. I got the black ones, and I love them. My tennis shoes cost a lot more than these shoes, and my tennis shoes are nowhere near as stylish as these. I highly recommend these shoes. Once you break them in, they will feel so comfortable, and you will be a lot more stylish than wearing sneakers. It will give you that flair and style.

My old Bruno Marc shoes were starting to show signs of their age (have had them for several years) so I figured I'd give these ones a try. If you're familiar with Bruno Marc, you'll know they use quality materials. The sole in particular is a big selling point behind this brand for me, they use actual rubber. The soles of my old shoes are still very usable, and aside from looking a bit old from rough use (and not providing the same grip on slick surfaces), they're still perfectly usable. These shoes feel like they're the same in that regard. The insole is different than my other shoes, they have little pads that serve to cushion certain areas (such as the heel). I tend to avoid these types of insoles but since they're in some Bruno Marc shoes, I think they're gonna last a bit. As for the shoe itself, the material feels solid. It seems to have an extra layer on the inside, it seems like they're not fully connected like my other pair, which seems to be intentional to add to the padding factor. The design aesthetic is kind of basic but that's fine. Overall, these are comfortable. Took about an hour to break in but that is quite trivial. Sole is solid as stated above. The included laces are okay, I think my other shoes had better laces but this is quite trivial, you can get different laces for like 3 bucks if you want. Would I recommend these? Yes, definitely. These will last you a while based on the usage of my other pair. I'm kind of rough with my shoes too, I play drums and do a lot of stuff that generally puts stress on my shoes and my other pair is still fine minus some material loss at the toe. Honestly you can't go wrong with this brand.

These men’s shoes are high quality, very sturdy, and very pleasing to the eye. My husband really likes them and says they are super comfortable on his feet. They have a very professional and dressy look, making them perfect for occasions where you want to look polished. One thing I personally love is the multicolor brown tone. It has a mix of brown and black that looks even better in person than it does in the photos. When you see them up close, you can really notice the attention to detail in the design. My husband is big and tall—about 6'2" and slightly over 300 pounds—so finding shoes that are both comfortable and stylish isn’t always easy. These definitely fit the bill. They look great, feel great, and are very comfortable for him to wear.
