Attractive, well made leather sneaker. Fits well, not too tight. with trouser socks; not sure about thicker socks. Had concerns about sizing since I am primarily an 8 1/2 shoe size, but can wear 8 depending on manufacturer and style. Tried the 8 1/2 - 9, but too large. 7 1/2 - 8 is a better fit. Since they are leather, will see if they stretch for a thicker sock after a few wears; otherwise will take them to shoemaker for assistance.Love the shoe; very attractive, sturdy, and well made. (Do not care that their brand name is plastered on the shoe. If they must advertise, why not just the company symbol -- that would be discreet and classy.)
