I bought these for my husband because I liked the style, and also remembering that Florsheim is known for making shoes with exceptional fit, even for those with odd shoe sizes. I asked dear hubby what his actual foot size is, since he always has to buy a larger or smaller size in the stores because no one carries his particular size. He told me, but was skeptical that an on-line purchase would be successful. When the shoes arrived, he tried them on and walked off with them. Later, I asked how they fit. A man of few words, he replied, "Like a glove." These are the finest shoes (outside of some really great cowboy boots) that he has had since we were married (30 years). They look fabulous whether at church, a social event, or shopping at Home Depot. We will be back for more!
