Bruno Marc Mens Crossflex Oxford Dress Sneakers Casual Leather Dress Shoes

I just got tired of spending 100-300 on dress shoes. These are the actual leather ones. They look great and are comfortable. I’ve had quite a few people ask where I got them. They’ve been pretty durable, but the sole has worn down and then they are super slick. Cheap enough though that I don’t mind just buying another pair. Read more

First off, I really enjoy high-quality, goodyear welted shoes with nice full-grain leather. These shoes are none of those things. However, I was looking for a decent pair of work (office) shoes I could wear during the winter months, and not have to destroy my nicer shoes in the salt and snow. These shoes serve that purpose very well. When I first opened the box, I noticed that the shoes seem to be made quite well for inexpensive no-name shoes. The fit and finish is great, and is consistent on both shoes. There is no exposed glue, loose seams, etc... Even though the leather isn't full-grain, it's still genuine leather, and has a nice finish on it. When I first wore them, they were comfortable, albeit the leather in the heels was a bit stiff- and rubbed a little until it broke in. I never got a blister, and this process only took a few wears to soften the leather enough to alleviate the rubbing. I have recently compared these to similar style Nautica shoes, and found the craftsmanship on the Bruno Marcs to far exceed the Nautica's. I don't own the original Cole Haan's; but I have a couple buddies who do, and they thought I was wearing Cole Haan's. When I told them they were just cheap Amazon knock-offs, they were surprised, and wanted me to send them a link to them. IMO, the Cole Haan's are not a good deal at all. They are just as expensive as high-quality goodyear welted shoes; but they cannot be resoled like GYW shoes, and they won't last nearly as long. They are basically an athletic shoe with a mid-grade full-grain leather upper. There is no way they should ever cost more than $100, yet they do. That is why I feel the Bruno Marc's are a MUCH better buy. They look just as nice, and should last just as long as the Cole Haan's. These are probably the best $40 shoes I've purchased. Read more

I will come back and update this once I receive the correct size, but it will be helpful for anyone buying the shoe to know that it runs 1 to 1.5 sizes big. I normally wear a 9 or 9.5 (US) depending on the shoe, so I bought a 9 in this one. Too big. Returned it and bought an 8.5, thinking that might do the trick. Still too big. I'm in the process of returning this one and getting an 8, which I hope will do the trick. As far as the shoe itself goes, it seems very comfortable with good support and nice cushioning in the heel and midsole. The leather looks sharp with a slight fade in the brown from one end of the shoe to the other. The white on the sole makes the shoe color pop and not look like your ordinary wingtip-style shoe. I'm not crazy about the type of shoelace they chose - it's stiff, thin, and almost waxy. I may opt for a softer lace once I get used to shoe. All in all, it seems like a good shoe for the price, and I am looking forward to getting to wear my pair when the right size gets in. Read more

The shoes are very comfortable, excellent quality, excellent fit, and genuine leather. Unusually buy more expensive shoes that cost over $200 but since I bought these shoes and felt the immediate comfort, I will continue to purchase these shoes. Plus the price is right! And the great need is that Amazon guarantees its products! I cannot say enough about the shoes and how comfortable they are and produced with quality. I am thinking on buying now 2 more pairs in different colors. It is a type of shoe that looks good in casual dress or business attire. Amazing! Mr. OP Read more

Shoes are comfortable, and fit well, but the color, is way off from what is shown. I ordered the brown , and the color is more a light yellowish tan,than what is shown. Edit ... The seller reached out to me after my review, and went above and beyond to make that's great for me , would recommend! Read more

Update: 12/27/24: After I returned the shoes, their support contacted me and offered to send another pair for free. I decided to try the shoes again and I found it to be comfortable to wear whole day and looks good for office use. I am still not sure about the quality of the leather but this one had less chemical odor. I already have some discoloration after 1-2 wears but I don’t mind trying it for free. I am changing my rating from 1 to 3 for the great customer service from this company. —————— Product description says it’s genuine leather but the shoes I got is made of synthetic leather and has a chemical odor. Fake description to deceive buyers. Returned it right away. Read more
