OUOUVALLEY Classic Formal Slip On Leather Lining Modern Loafer Shoes OUOU-004

Exploding shoes!!! Things started off well as the shoes look great. However, there is absolutely ZERO padding inside the shoe. It felt like walking around on bricks. Then after two months of normal office wear one of the heels literally burst. The rupture started at the front edge of the heel and continued like a fault on the surface of the Earth up and all the way around the heel. I contacted the company to see if this was normal but they have yet to respond, two months later. Maybe I expected too much for $35.

The leather on the top of these shoes creases surprisingly early with wear, but the smooth look only morph into rugged good looks. The soles can be a little slippery, but these are dress shoes after all and not sneakers. If you are planning to wear these while on your feet all day, you might also consider insoles. Those are the only caveats I can offer and they are likely true of most shoes much more expensive than these. After wearing these (with insoles) for nearly a half-million steps I love them enough that I'm afraid of settling for less when they finally wear out, so I bought two extra pair. At the current price of thirty-something dollars you'd be hard-pressed to find better footwear

DAY OF ARRIVAL: Stylish. Comfortable. Easy on and off. Looks good with jeans or slacks. I bought my exact shoe size (13) and they fit perfectly. Arrived in two days from Amazon. Very affordable.UPDATE: After wearing these shoes in my house I noticed a very annoying air releasing sound coming from the rubber heals as I walk and put pressure on the heals. Like a pet squeeky toy without the squeek ... Like: pssstpssst, pssst, pssst ... The sound is noticeable and embarrassing. How am I supposed to sneek up on my coworkers? (kidding). So anyway, I will be sending them back. Darn. I've changed my review from 4 stars to two stars.

I purchased these because I liked the style and had recently blown out the heel on a similar shoe. The "leather" material is of poor quality, I don't think the "leather" will hold up very long. I have warn them a few times and some of the "leather" has been damaged. You should not expect a lot of comfort in the shoes, but I would say that this would be common in similar style inexpensive dress shoes. I usually spend double or triple the price on similar dress shoes, so I would consider buying these again.

These fit fine width wise and are comfortable to wear. However, there is a LOT of space between the end of my toes and the tip of the shoe. I have a wide foot and the shoe is very comfortable on my wide foot. I thought I got the wrong size, but it is correct. I didn't have any issues walking around in them. The sole is hard and slippery when first worn.

Shoes fit as expected. That said, I expected them to be a little large so it works perfect. I wear size 13 for most brands and these allowed for the addition of a shoe insole without leaving feet feeling cramped. The shoes quickly (after 1 wear) seemed to lose the deep brown color along any seams or points the shoe bent through the act of normal walking. The look was described as "vintage" by one of my coworkers but they are comfortable so I didn't both sending them back.

This shoe is a lot more narrow and pointy than it seemed in the pictures. It is also hard to put on because the stretchy fabric at the opening of the shoe has absolutely no give. Even after breaking them on its hard to get your foot in. The bottom also is extremely slick. These shoes seem very misrepresented. I would not recommend or repurchase.

I wear dress shoes at work and am on my feet for most of the day. When I got these shoes they didn't seem to fit the best and already made my feet feel like at the end of the day they were not getting support. After giving them a bit to hopefully break in I gave up and purchased added insoles but that still didn't help. These shoes are cheap for a reason. If you are looking for black dress shoes that you are only planing on wearing a time or two and not all day, these might work ok. But not as shoes you are going to wear for any length of time on a regular basis. Will not buy them again.
