text: I received a number of compliments on the looks.  This is a first at buying shoes on-line and, while the shoes are reasonably comfortable with socks (a bit tighter than I had hoped) they are not as comfortable without socks. There is no arch support to speak of and the fit an finish of the inside is not real great.  I have been wearing them for a couple of hours each day to say how they do.  In general, they are ok for the price, but I would not have purchased them if I tried them on first.
