I had been looking for a stylish pair of black office shoes to replace my Johnstone & Murphys. I wear this shoe about 80% of the time so it needed to be my staple, have the looks to be worn with dress trousers and suits, and have the comfort and quality to last about 3 years.
The styles I was seing at my planned price-point (up to $200) either had too low of a heel or had a poor shape at the front. About a week ago, I came across this shoe at a major department store, tried it on, and to boot (no pun intended), it was also on sale, reduced from $225 to about $155. I bought it as it had a classy design along with a reasonable heel. On the off-chance, I checked if Amazon carried the shoe and lo-and-behold, sure they did!! And what did you know, the price was about $30 cheaper than the sale price at the department store! Go Amazon once again!
The shoe itself has a bulge at the front to accommodate your toes while your feet flex during walking. Do I like the "Hugo Boss" embossed at the back of the shoe? No, but that's a small price to pay for a nicely styled shoe up front, and fortunately, you don't see it very much, if at all. The shoe could have had a little bit mroe width built in for comfort and looks, but that could be more of a personal issue. Finally, I would have liked leather soles at this price point, but if the leather uppers wear well over my anticipated time fo use of about 3 years, i will forgive that slight ommission. Besides, it would cost that much more to replace leather bottoms. Overall, very happy.
As usual, Amazon came through on the price and the delivery was on time in a good sized box. And the shoe was absolutely brand-new. 5 Stars!
