I was amazed with the comfort. Wore for the first time to a wedding and danced for hours in them. My feet were very happy and they still look like new. Thought shoes at this price would hurt after hours of wear. What a surprise!

Don’t buy, low quality
Do not buy these shoes, they have only been a headache. Soles have worn through the rubber practically to the insole at the heel. Have had these shoes for a total of 3 months and I am disappointed in the quality. Buy some Allen Edmonds or Cole Haans.

Don't buy. Dissapointing quality
Do not buy these shoes, the heel fell apart within a few months of use (Just like they did for another reviewer). Took them to the store, and the manager looked at them and basically said, well what do you expect with shoes that are less than $300 (For Nordstrom's own line of shoes which are all in that price range!), and that this was just normal wear and tear from a few months of wear. Very disappointed in the shoe and in the reaction from the manager on them. I've never had a shoe wear down this bad, and never anywhere near as fast as these did.

Support and style
The Nordstrom Emmett Plain Toe Derby shoes offer a classic, timeless style that works well for both professional and formal occasions. Their sleek design makes them easy to pair with dress pants, suits, or business-casual outfits. The plain-toe finish gives them a clean, sophisticated appearance, while the traditional Derby design adds versatility. These shoes are a great option for anyone looking for a polished, professional look that never goes out of style. Overall, they are a stylish addition to any wardrobe.

Perfect
The Nordstrom Emmett Plain Toe Derby, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The design is sleek and versatile, making them perfect for both professional and casual settings. The craftsmanship is top-notch, with high-quality leather that feels soft yet durable. They offer a comfortable fit right out of the box, and the minimalistic style pairs well with a variety of outfits. Whether I’m heading to a business meeting or a night out, these shoes elevate my look while providing all-day comfort. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for a stylish, well-made dress shoe!

Very nice try these.
recently purchased thedress shoes, and Ithoroughly impressed with the overall quality. From the moment I took them out of the box, it was clear that these shoes are built to last. The leather is rich and smooth, offering both a luxurious feel and a sophisticated appearance. The stitching is meticulous and uniform, showcasing great attention to detail.
The soles are made of high-quality rubber (or leather, if applicable), providing excellent grip and durability while maintaining a sleek look. The craftsmanship is evident, especially in the way the shoes are constructed. They feel sturdy without sacrificing comfort, and the insole offers just the right amount of cushioning honestly.
Overall, these shoes provide exceptional value for the price, with a level of quality that rivals much higher-end brands. I’m confident they’ll hold up well over time and continue to look sharp with age. Highly recommended for anyone in need of stylish, durable dress shoes try these honestly.
