I'm not easily sold on expensive and obscure fashion brands, so I was somewhat skeptical when ordering these, even with a great discount. Now that I've seen and worn them, I can say that I like them, but I wouldn't have paid full price for them. They don't have much cushioning, but I think that's typical of moc style boots. The outer sole isn't nearly as comfortable as the crepe soles found in Clarks Desert Boots, but it's still plenty adequate. Overall, they're quite comfortable, although I've yet to test them while walking long distances or even wearing a full day.
The leather laces are a little short, and although they seem like they might come untied, I haven't experienced it. My biggest complaint is with the burnished toes, which isn't mentioned in the description here and isn't very obvious in the pictures. I really dislike things made to look worn, because I prefer that look to come naturally, rather then manufactured. I think it looks cheap, but thankfully, it's not all that noticeable.
I'm not a shoe expert, but I believe these have a stitched welt, which tells me they'll likely last a long time. I'm not sure what to make of the suede, because the finish seems a little rough, but it does seem durable. Overall, they are comfortable, they look nice and I think I'll like them.
I'll wrap this up with the fit. I wear an 11D, although my second most common size is a 10.5D, so I ordered these in both sizes to get the right fit (I can do that, thanks to Amazon's generous return policy.) The 10.5D fit me great, so I didn't even bother trying out the 11D's I ordered. I've yet to wear them with boot socks, but I think they'll work fine, should I even want to wear a boot sock with them. However, if your second most common size is bigger, then I'd recommend sticking with your most common size. You might want to do that anyway, because they're somewhat narrow, although they're still probably wider then most mocs.

Highly recommended! Good padded footbed, good quality suede, for an updated chukka look. I love the non-crepe sole that feels sturdy, grippy and solid. Negatives are: marking on the suede (I would rather have marked the shoe up myself but would be a non-issue if I had gotten the darker colors) and eyelets that make that overlap when tied. Otherwise I highly recommend these shoes and look forwad to getting one of the darker colors if my size comes back in stock.
