Florsheim Men's Castellano Wingtip Oxford

The quality for this wingtip's pricepoint is great. Florsheim shoes, excluding the ones under ~$100, are built well. Maybe not as great as they once were back in the day, but I can't complain about this shoe. I receive compliments all the time -- from strangers and friends alike. They fit true-to-size and just look excellent on your feet. When I say true-to-size, I mean that in your dress shoe size. For those that don't normally purchase shoes like these and wear mostly sports shoes (Nike, Adidas, etc), you'll likely need to size down by half a size. Some may need to size down a full size. As for me, I wear a 9.5 US in sports shoes and a 9 in dress shoes. Don't worry about there being extra room up at the toe box; that's common for shoes like these. Don't size down for that reason alone.For those looking for a dressier but still somewhat casual look, these wingtips are spot on. Make sure you grab a pair of shoe trees and leather conditioner to keep the leather uppers nice and healthy for years to come.*Note: the pair of shoes in the images are size 9, have been worn around 10-15 times since purchase. The color may look slightly darker as Leather Honey Conditioner has been applied to them to keep them hydrated.

I think the photos might be mixed up. The color I received said Saddle Tan on the box and that matches what I ordered but the shoes that arrived are the color of the plain tan ones in the photos. Instead of having a natural reddish tan color like in the photos the ones I received were almost like tan paint. They look very cheap compared to the ones in the photos labeled Saddle Tan. I returned mine. The fit was good though. If they ever get my size in Tan I will probably order them and see if my photo mix-up theory is correct.Update 5/29/2015Returned first pair. Spoke to an Amazon rep that suggested I reorder to see if there might have been a mixup with the wrong color. Same hideous color came. These are some of the ugliest shoes I have seen. The color reminds me of cheap tan spray paint. In the photos, the shoe matches the color of the leather in the heel. It is a rich, reddish natural leather tone. The shoes that came have a beautiful heel but the rest of the shoe looks like a $20 shoe you would find in a cheap discount shoe store. I have other Florsheims and I love them. I can't believe they would even put their name on such a hideous shoe. For me, these shoes are absolutely unwearable. After seeing the same shoes a second time I knocked off a star and put it down to just 1 star.In the zombie apocalypse I might wear these shoes if they were the only option, but only if I was certain the zombies no longer had the cognitive power to see them and laugh at me. Otherwise I would just go barefoot or strap tree bark to my feet with bailing twine.The picture I took makes them look better than they do in real life. They actually look cheaper in person.******Update 5/29/2015**********Went to a local shoe store and found the same shoe! Listed as the same shoe model and color as here on Amazon. It matched the pictures shown here exactly. Finally! Obviously the shoes Amazon sent were either horribly made out of spec or more likely were mislabeled on the box. Hopefully it was just that one box in size 10. So glad I finally found he right color. Oh and I did end up getting a 9 1/2 at the shoe store. These shoes run very big. All my other shoes are either 10 or 10 1/2. I haven't worn 9 1/2 since high school. 9 1/2 in these fit me perfectly.

The shoes looks very nice. Great dress up shoes. I love the wood grain heels. It's a bit pricey for the material. It's kind of thin and think it would be worn out if creased too much at the toe area, but I don't dress up that often if I do, I have other dress shoes to wear depending on what shoes matches. The wide size option is a great option, more companies should do that more often. I have wide feet. Fits 1/2 inches longer than the actual size so it's not that noticeable.PRO: Looks stylish, wide optionCON: Thin material, heel is replaceable and nailed in I noticed nail was still protruding and was making a clinking sound when I was walking so I hammered it in more and it's fine now.

Shoes run about a half size smaller than your sneaker size, but I've found that typical for most dress shoes.These things are very sharp looking, and seem to be great quality FOR THE PRICE.You can't expect a piece of art when spending only 100 dollars. But I give these shoes 5 stars due to their VALUE.I really like the wooden heal, and the darker laces.CAUTION:I have another pair of Florsheim's with the same sole. I walk about 2 miles in these each day (1 mile outdoors, 1 mile in office throughout the day) for my city commute. The soles WEAR DOWN FAST.I expect these to last a year before I take them to a shoe repair for new soles (40 dollars or so). Not a bad deal.As far as the leather uppers - like any shoe - TAKE CARE OF THEM. Buy some Leather Honey or Lexol to condition your dress shoes once a month. Every two weeks polish your shoes (wax polish, then shoe cream - alternate accordingly). Get a shoe brush and wipe them down at the end of the day. GET A PAIR OF SHOE TREES.These items are expensive, but they are what you need to make any pair of dress shoes last for years to come.For the value, you can't beat these shoes.
