Carson Derby (Men)

These shoes are very well made; the leather is high-quality and they’re a great in between style - easy to dress-up, or dress-down. The biggest challenge is the fit. I wear a size 11 in running shoes, and 10.5 D in dress shoes. I tried a 10.5 D which were far too tight in the toe box, and an 11 D which were far too long. I finally landed on a 10.5 EEE. It’s nearly perfect, but a bit wide; with slightly thicker socks, they’re comfortable. I’ve had them for about a week and they’re already starting to break in, but they’re very stiff right out of the box. I think they’re going to work great after some wear.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very stylish shoe that I wear with both a jacket and tie to the office; or, with dress casual attire. Since it is a lighter color suede, I would recommend treating this shoe first with the Allen Edmonds suede protector in order to preserve the shoe's nice look and sharp appearance.
