Timeless style
I just received this pair of boots (delivered to the door as promised), only one word comes to mind...WOW. I bought two pair of these (before the price increased) and at $98.00, the boots were an incredible price. The black ones are extermely stylish and I was a bit skeptical of how the brown ones would look...in a word...WOW...I am extremely pleased with the style, the workmanship and the sizing of the boot. Having read on this site they tend to run bit narrow, I ordered a size 14 and I'm glad I did, not so much for the narrowness but for a bit more room in the toe box. These boots are a must for any collection and for those having a shoe size above a size 12, these shoes some how tend to make the foot look smaller, whether it is the cap toe with the antique styling or the narrowness, I'm not sure, but the boot is definitely a keeper...just love em...I can already tell the brown ones will be my favorite of the two.

Well Made and Extremely Comfortable!
I am extremely pleased with my purchase. I am replacing a pair of Allen Edmonds Dress boots, and was concerned about the quality and fit. I am glad to say these are perfect. The color and finish is great. Fit is excellent, I normally were a 9 B these are a 9 Medium and are perfect. I did change the laces to a lighter brown than what and with boots , just a personal preference. I also cleaned and conditioned the boots properly before wearing them as recommended too me to help with creasing when breaking in new shoes. The kidskin leather, is very soft and extremely comfortable. I am already looking at another pair. Especially considering the cost is a 1/3 of what of what I normally pay for shoes..

Perfect
Needed for authentic old west living history events and there is a reason these boots have been around since the late 19th century. Prefect fit. Appearance is as advertised and the quality is unmatched.

A classic, but definitely not perfect
I own the black, brown, and white of the Madison boot, so I'm obviously a fan. The slim profile, plus real leather sole really makes these sharp for many occasions. You can wear them with a suit or jeans, they're just a great staple to a refined guy's wardrobe. Some notes, though...they are on the narrow side, and right out of the box are pretty stiff. The leather is a very specific feel - not quite patent leather, but semi-shiny, thin, and rigid. They do break in nicely after a while, but if you've never worn them, just know that it'll take some time. Also, the sole is initially very slippery on smooth surfaces, so you may want to take a stroll on some asphalt to give them a little grit. Another issue I've faced in all three pairs I've purchased is that the laces are never quite as long as I'd like them to be. There are A LOT of eyelets and hooks on these, and if you wanna go all the way you're gonna have to really fight to tie a bow. To the best of my knowledge Stacy Adams does not sell separate replacement laces, so you may have to look elsewhere if this is an issue. Definitely recommend ordering your dress shoe size, which is typically a size down from a sneaker size. I'm a 10 in these, but an 11.5 in most athletic sneakers (Nike, NB, Vans, etc.) and a 10.5 in Converse All Stars, if that helps. Overall, I do love these shoes. They're understated, versatile, handsome, and timeless. But they could be improved IMO.

Amazing dress boot for women, too!
I Love this sophisticated men’s dress boot. Looks very trendy with a floral dress. Most women’s dress boots have too high of a heel for me, and women’s combat-style boots are too clunky looking for my taste. I wear a women’s size 8.5 and my feet are somewhat narrow to medium width. The men’s size 6.5 fit perfectly.

Right out of the box they fit very well when straight laced (although I have pretty thin feet
Bought these to replace an old pair of Florsheim Hugo. Right out of the box they fit very well when straight laced (although I have pretty thin feet.) Massaged some Kiwi oil into the leather to stop the creaking; didn't get rid of it 100%, but it certainly helped. The sole is leather and will be pretty slippery at first, but this went away after a five minute walk on pavement... which you can do the moment you slip it on, it really is that comfortable. It's a bit too shiny to be a "jeans boot" at first, but the more you wear it the more it will break into the mold (look up Ryan Gosling wearing them when off the Drive film set for proof.) Looks great at work and around town, a very suave boot without being pretentious.
