The shoes are comfortable (although still new and certainly not yet 'worn in'), and the leather is soft. They are a good fit. I initially ordered a half-size smaller based on a previous pair of shoes made on a different last that were more a more generous width. I cannot yet say how they will wear, but initial impression is very good. Mr G. · loake.com
