Good shoes
My old Bruno Marc shoes were starting to show signs of their age (have had them for several years) so I figured I'd give these ones a try. If you're familiar with Bruno Marc, you'll know they use quality materials. The sole in particular is a big selling point behind this brand for me, they use actual rubber. The soles of my old shoes are still very usable, and aside from looking a bit old from rough use (and not providing the same grip on slick surfaces), they're still perfectly usable. These shoes feel like they're the same in that regard. The insole is different than my other shoes, they have little pads that serve to cushion certain areas (such as the heel). I tend to avoid these types of insoles but since they're in some Bruno Marc shoes, I think they're gonna last a bit. As for the shoe itself, the material feels solid. It seems to have an extra layer on the inside, it seems like they're not fully connected like my other pair, which seems to be intentional to add to the padding factor. The design aesthetic is kind of basic but that's fine. Overall, these are comfortable. Took about an hour to break in but that is quite trivial. Sole is solid as stated above. The included laces are okay, I think my other shoes had better laces but this is quite trivial, you can get different laces for like 3 bucks if you want. Would I recommend these? Yes, definitely. These will last you a while based on the usage of my other pair. I'm kind of rough with my shoes too, I play drums and do a lot of stuff that generally puts stress on my shoes and my other pair is still fine minus some material loss at the toe. Honestly you can't go wrong with this brand. Read more
