These are are my fun dress shoes, they look flashy without looking goofy. They are also well made in a true sewed welt construction, and could be resoled if need be, but at the price they are now, it's cheaper to buy a new pair.Where you might have problems is with the width. They run both narrow in all directions. This makes them a sleeker shoe, but hard to fit perfectly. These are part of Stacy's old line that they made for decades on narrow lasts (foot models). I'm usually a 11 - 11.5, and barely fit in these at 11.5. A 12 would've been too long, so be careful with the fit.
