Before buying this shoe I was having a great impression on 'Florsheim' brand originated from Chicago. But this is my first buy of this brand. The product didn't perform to all the hype provided in the reviews. Believe me, I was wearing this shoe exactly for one week and I started seeing all the thread stitches coming out. I usually don't do much walking with formal shoes just to add as a note. Either two things might have happened: 1) this product must be duplicate or 2) this is the reliability of Florsheim brand. You decide before buying this.<br />Though the fit was perfect and the shoe was shiny... the quality was terrible which superseded every other pros. So I returned within a week.
