'Federico' Oxford

This is my husband's second pair of these shoes. He got them in black and ordered the second pair so he wouldn't wear out the first pair so fast. He wears a size 7 1/2 Medium, which makes it hard to find decent shoes due to the fact that most companies start at size 8. He says they are the most comfortable pair of dress shoes he has ever owned, with no "break-in" time. They are classic and stylish, without being flashy. The price is well worth it because they are made extremely well.

I bought this pair in-person, and was surprised at how comfortable they were to walk around in without a break-in period. However, the delight in walking around was soon dashed by my realization that the leather is incredibly low-quality, if not completely fake. After approximately a few weeks of wear at a sedentary job, the leather strip around the heel had split (and this even after using shoe trees and shoe horns). I attempted to return the pair, but was told they couldn't accept the shoes in that damaged a condition. Unfortunately, this will be the last time I ever buy shoes from Nordstrom, especially since they actively sell such low-quality shoes and refuse returns. Save yourself some time and grief, and purchase a real pair of Magnannis from a reputable seller.
