text: I was really looking forward to these seemingly stylish shoes, but ...<br />I ordered 11, and was shipped shoes size 11.5, in a box marked 11 !<br />  ..<br />Too large, even after inserting foam cushions. My heel still slips out.<br />The brown color looks more like a dirty black.<br />sorry, but the &#34;Ultra Soft Italian Leather Upper&#34; looks stiff and not supple due to the rough, textured finish.<br />The sole does not reach to either edge, so concerned about rolling off this shoe and twisting an ankle.<br />May be more suited for driving, and not for casual wear, but the sole is not sensitive to pedal pressure. .<br />Toe will soon scuff and wear thru; other brands provide more toe protection.
