These shoes are satisfactory. If you want that orangey-brown (emphasis on the orangey) dress shoe for a good price, they look and feel pretty good. The only reason I am writing the review is because I can't believe nobody mentioned this before. These things smell like they were carved out of petroleum (like gasoline!). I could barely breath when I opened the shoe box, and I have been trying to let them air out for like a week now, and they still reek! I'm not saying I am going to return them or can't handle it, but holy *%^$ they smell horrible. In this case, you get what you pay for and to make synthetic leather you have to use some gross chemicals I guess.<br /><br />Next time, I'll spend more to avoid this stench.
