Pros:
--------
A traditional & conservative look. The shoes are constructed using Goodyear Welt methodology which is suppposedly superior and more time consuming to make. The shoe breaths especially well. I wore these all day at a client presentation coupled with an evening of dancing in San Antonio, Texas and when I took them off my socks were not moist. In addition they are also very comfortable.

Cons:
--------
Made in India. The leather formed creases very easily (in the front-top which is expected, but oddly in the heel area too). The leather is not smooth and shiny, but more matte finish. You are going to need to invest in a cedar shoe tree ( Men's Cedar Shoe Tree ) to maintain the shape and reduce wrinkling. The bottom of the shoe appears to be thich raw hide and looks classy except that if you are walking in city streets every small pebble and gravel will embed itself into the shoe bottom. In turn this embedded gravel will make a crunching type sound against any hard surface you walk on indoors. (If you are going from house, to car, to office this is a non-issue.)

Alternatives:
--------
They are not especially eye catching. I also purchased Florsheim Men's Courtland Oxford and they are more visually appealing and lower cost, but without the more expensive Goodyear welt construction.

The price is really low for this shoe. The only problem being that this was probably in storage for a long time. The leather was pretty stiff. I like the show, but it will take a while to loosen up.

The Florsheim Canfield Cap Toe Oxford is a classic shoe that adds that perfect touch of elegance. This is the second pair I have owned and will not go elsewhere for shoes as these fit perfect, look awesome, and wear well.

I had my doubts when I got my pair and saw that they are made in India, my doubts were right, after 6 month using the shoes, the sole wear extremelly fast a couple of holes appear, the leather is also bad quality.
It's a shame that a brand that used to be so good is not anymore.

Really nice looking shoe. The wider widths that are available is
just what I need. RB (Chicago)

No problems with these shoes after the first 2 weeks of owneship. Will be in a position to give a better review in 2 years.

The leather was pretty stiff. ,the leather is in bad condition, is stained and discolored...reay in bad conditions.

This is the most uncomfortable shoe I've ever worn. I thought that given a few months it would've been broken in by now, but its still scraping my heel on a daily basis. I even wear 2 pairs of thick socks, and still I get blisters. I love Florsheims, but these are just flawed in design. The picture even shows it...look how there is almost a lip on the heel for, I guess, added support, but its sharp as a razor and cuts inward instead of upward. So, buy a loafer from Florsheim, but not these..
