Jousen Mens Dress Shoes Leather Classic Formal Mens Oxfords Retro Derby Oxford

Continue to enjoy these. That said, I tend to walk the heels off of these and replace them once a year. Then again, the price is right. The fit very comfortable, and stylish. Read more

Honestly, I am extremely leery of buying outside of my comfort zone when it comes to shoes. I stick to just a few specific brands... Levi's, Guess, Calvin Klein, Steve Madden, and maybe a few others. I primarily wear dress shoes for work and travel frequently, so it's imperative for me to have a comfy, durable shoe. Over the years, brands like that have served me well. However, the dress shoe brands I used to purchase have gone lax in terms of quality and exorbitant in terms of price. That's when I decided to take a chance on these from Jousen. I wasn't expecting much. When it comes to random brands on Amazon, I stopped expecting much after getting a dress shirt with pit stains. However, these shoes blew me away. The craftsmanship is on a level unheard of in this price range, with neat stitching, cushioning and premium leather material. Even the packaging was more well-done than shoes three times their price. Today is my first day wearing them on the job and, while a bit stiff, they are quite comfortable and, I imagine, they will become comfier as the day goes on. Provided these shoes last well the next month or so, Jousen will have gained a faithful, return customer. I've been in need of a few new dress shoes now and I think I've finally found a new brand I can rely on. Read more

The shoes are a good fit for me- I think they could easily pass as much more expensive. Being realistic here, though, don't expect them to last forever. You get what you pay for. They are wonderful looking and decent quality, but I don't expect to get more than few years out of them, even with light wear. That is why they are much cheaper than a $200 shoe. They look the same, but they aren't. I still recommend though because they are very nice looking and great for the price. Read more

I had ordered Florshime shoes but had to return them as when I polished them they streaked. These shoes are wonderful and cost much less. Most important to me was that the sole is stitched on and not glued on as I have had glued on soles which came apart in the past. Being sowed on they can be replaced with new soles when they get worn out and will not dislodged as with glued on soles. I wear a "B" width which is a narrow, size 12 and theses fit perfectly and I wear a heavy wool blend sock all the time. They also have a very comfortable insoles with a medium to high arch support. The leather is soft and pliable. Shoe strings are waxed. I highly recommend this brand Read more

These shoes are surprisingly good quality considering the price. They are comfortable, look great and the quality is impressive all things considered. The only thing I would question is the durability of the soles but, considering that I've spent more on plastic flip flops, I'm not concerned about that. These aren't an everyday pair of shoes for me so if they last a couple of years, great! Highly recommended, especially for the periodic wearer! Read more

These shoes look great, feel great, and appear that for the price they are a good deal. The only reservation I have is that I can't tell if the upper is real leather. They are very soft but the texture of the outside feels almost more like fabric than leather. Time will tell if they hold up. I'll revise the review and give them a 5 star if they do. Update—They get black scuffs (I think from the heel of the shoe) that I can’t get off. I never have had a pair of leather shoes that have done this. Either it’s a thin leather veneer or not leather at all. Downgrade to a 1 star. I’m just waiting for another pair of shoes to replace them with. Read more

First time I ever bought dress shoes on line. Very good quality upper and sole - suggest you use mink oil to seal the leather. I think the listed sizing is accurate. But I bought the next half size up - it’s a little bit big but still comfortable. IMHO this is a great dress show but maybe not one you would wear everyday if you had to be on your feet a lot. Priced right. Read more

The shoes are very nice but a little disappointed with the color from the picture. It looks nice, rich, consistent, darker brown, but the shoes actually somewhat uneven tone of brown and not as dark brown as the picture. Read more
