These shoes are far more beautiful in person than the photos suggest. The leather is soft to the touch, a beautiful color, nicely flexible, and the distressing tastefully done (at least on the pair I received). I like that they are a more solid version of a chukka, and have a 1" heel to boot.
However, the threads of the stitching on the sole are not cut into the leather, so if you did not immediately take the shoes to a cobbler to have a rubber sole put on, I think the threads would wear through quickly. The pair was also far larger than I expected, even though I consulted the Bed:Stu website's size chart before ordering. I usually wear a 39-40 or 9.5/10 depending on the manufacturer, and this 9.5 seemed as much as a whole size too large, in width and length, though this is untested. Although I like the shoes aesthetically, I won't be reordering in my size, mainly due to the stitching on the sole and what that suggests about the shoe's overall construction and design.
