NYboy, I am glad that you are happy and satisfied with your new shoes and that you can enjoy wearing them for years to come. I have a hard time finding shoes that fit my short in leangth but w i d e feet. Mine are dress shoes of the similar style as yours. Quality shoes made in the USA , tan in color, soft leather and they fit like a glove and VERY comfortable to wear. I bought them for $39 on sale ( at a shoe store that was going out of business ) as they fit perfectly. So, I wear them on Holidays, going out to dinner, Birthdays and business meetings for the last 10 years. My everyday are a pair of Western boots, custom hand made by an Apache Indian that fit like a glove and are very comfortable to wear about 50 years ago that I paid $300 for. I have lost count as to the number of times that they were resoled.
