You have to hand it to Bruno Magli. Sometimes they just hit one right out of the park, and the "Making" is a lined shot over the center field wall IMO. This is a Platinum line-up shoe, and it absolutely shows. The picture here is unfortunately very one dimensional, in person this shoe is dramatic in both design and function. Dual black/brown fade color is subtle yet eye-popping at the same time. Very pronounced stitching that wreaks of Italian workmanship. Runs a full size large,something to consider before purchasing. I have always worn a size 9 in Bruno, and in this shoe I was swimming in a 9. That said, I took mine to a cobbler where they sewed on a leather spacer along the inner heel area and its now perfect. The Making is a very substantial shoe, and must literally weigh twice as heavy as a standard Bruno shoe due to what I believe to be higher quality leather and sole materials. Perfect in business attire, but can easily double in slacks and a sports jacket. Pointed toe is beautifully carved with authority. Shoes comfort itself is typical Bruno- excellent right out of the box. You'll want to really baby these shoes as well. The black/brown polish on this shoe is exceptional but unforgiving when it comes to nicks and scratches, and will show both quite easily.

I usually always wear a 11M or 11.5 M, these are at least one full size too large on me, foot slips right out, beautiful shoe, but way way to big, seems like this is too much of a difference for any shoe maker to offer.... an 11M US , should be that, this much of a difference is just too much
