DREAM PAIRSBruno Moda Italy Men's Prince Classic Modern Formal Oxford Wingtip Lace Up Dress Shoes

Okay, I’m used to spending big bucks on men’s dress shoes. I’m talking $300 plus for American made shoes. They are recraftable (resole-able) for another $100 each time.But since Covid, I don’t go to the office as often. One of my black dress shoes needs to be re-soled, and it will be. Just not now.So I ran into these shoes on Amazon. It’s hard to argue with the price. Literally 10% of what I have been paying. So, are these shoes 90% lower in quality?The short, simple answer is, surprisingly, no. Just the opposite.Upon receipt, I inspected them carefully and they looked pretty darned decent. I was looking for any excuse to plop them back in the box and return them. I couldn’t find anything.I appreciate that the leather upper is smooth and mildly shiny. This is a wing tip style shoe, so I’m impressed that the extensive stitching was evenly spaced. The leather detailing that I expect on a wing tip is also all there.Inside the shoe, it is lined from the toes all the way to the heel box… nice! And that leather feels surprisingly supple. That is something I would expect on a much more expensive shoe. But definitely not at this price point.Hmm.I even liked the wax laces they chose. They are a little thicker and have more than adequate length. The shoe’s eyelets have interior facing metal grommets to protect against stretching and tear out of the leather and helps protect the laces against friction wear, as they are tightened and loosened over time. Now having that detail, at this price point, has raised both of my eyebrows.Double hmm. Now I am really impressed.The only thing that I didn’t like was that the stitching—that joins the uppers to the sole—is white. I needed to polish these shoes anyway, so I figured I’d see what would happen if I put black polish on the stitching.I’m happy to say that the uppers shine up very nicely, to a high gloss. This was done with just a little bit of buffing, using a traditional horse hair bristled brush. And followed by a buffing cloth. Although I didn’t do it, the leather is smooth enough that I probably could have spit shined them.And those pesky white stitches on the top side of the soles? Well I’m happy to report that they are now definitely black.Turning the shoe over, I can visually see a lump where the shank is supposed to be. That’s a good thing. Not all shoes have a shank. It helps to support the arch. That’s another nice detail. I am expecting the shank to be plastic at this price point. So I am utterly shocked to report to you that a magnet sticks to the bottom of the shoe. That shank is steel! Now I am amazed! We’re talking mind blown, Purple smoke everywhere.Speaking of details, I was very surprised to see the nicely done wing tip detailing, from on top of the shoe, carried over to the bottom of the sole. Wow. I have never seen that before. That’s surprising.Now it is important to point out that the sole is some man made material. Definitely not leather. But that’s okay. Especially in the wet, leather wears out quickly, if you don’t wear rubber over shoes. One less thing to fuss about.The heel itself has a band/layer of rust brown material sandwiched between black layers. I wonder if that is a cork or bamboo material? Having walked in these shoes, on concrete and tile floors, last week, there is a noticeable level of cush, or give. They will definitely not to be confused with sneakers. But for dress shoes, this is a pleasant and surprising experience.The first day, I wore them at home, over the weekend and I’m glad I did that. They needed time to adjust to my feet. Any dress shoe that I have ever worn needs that.But after that, these shoes have been pleasant enough to walk around in at work.I’d have to say that these shoes give me at least 90% of what I would expect from my $300+ shoes for around 10% of the cost.In my estimation, at their current price point, they constitute an excellent deal.And especially if you are just breaking into the business world and need a good pair of interview shoes, these are definitely respectable… just be sure to put black polish on the white stitches.Oh, BTW, I have wider feet and I ordered the shoe wide. After the initial stretching, they fit nicely.So, in the final analysis, what do I think? I have to say, yes, these shoes definitely get my recommendation. Especially if price is a huge factor, then these shoes constitute an excellent deal.

I ordered these in a pinch for a formal night, pretty much true to size which was fantastic considering it’s a gamble with shoes. The overall quality was really nice for the price. I would recommend scuffing the bottoms to give them some texture as they are pretty slick coming out of the box. They do have a strong scent of smoky/woody so I would also recommend letting them air out before wearing. Comfortable for all night wear I didn’t experience any hotspots nor and pressure points on my feet. However I do have a narrow foot so I can’t say how well it would work for wide.I’m overall very pleased with these shoes for the price. Minor adjustments to break them in make them perfect.

This shoe feels good and looks great. My one complaint is the advice that the shoe "runs small based on returns feedback" so buyers should "consider sizing up". Well I did that and the shoes were too big. I can confirm that the shoe fits true to size.

These are great shoes for the money, recently took them on a cruise for “dress up night” and they’re comfy and fit well. I got many compliments!

Order a size larger and it might work if your foot is not wide. My husband usually wears a EEE so I ordered a size 12 when he normally wears an 11.Not a lot of cushion in the bottom of the shoe. Will probably be OK for a wedding, but not for long wear. We contacted the seller and they were very accommodating and sent us another larger size and it did actually fit better. Very happy with purchase. Just remember you might have to go up a whole size to get a better fit.

Comfortable, inexpensive and stylish. Looking for other colors.

These shoes look great, the color is as expected and the sizing seems spot on. However. They smell like cigar smoke… badly. I’ve had the box open in my garage with dryer sheets stuffed in each shoe hoping they would air out but it’s been over a week. I brought them in to check the progress and take pictures for this review but they will go back in the garage because the odor still makes my stomach hurt and there’s no way these will be stored in a bedroom closet. They don’t appear to have been used, the soles are pristine so I am unsure of where the odor comes from but trust me when I say it is awful. Thankfully they are for a wedding in a few months so I’m hoping by then it will dissipate.

I bought on a black Friday type sale and figured for the price I paid, if they fall apart, no love lost.These shoes are still holding strong and are comfortable. On par with my $130 Florsheim shoes. The soles are slippery, so if you have epoxied garage floors, exiting a vehicle will reinforce whatever you learned at dance class.I had anticipated these kicks would start coming apart by now, but I wear them at work and still love them.

Bought these for a family members wedding and found them to be so comfortable, even for the first wear! They fit true to size and didn’t hurt my heels after hours of walking around in them. Recently wore them to an office party and they were once again stylish and comfortable! Would recommend if you need a pair of dress shoes without breaking the bank.

I have rarely bought shoes online because of sizing issues. So this was a bit of a gamble for me. With a brilliant result. These are comfortable, stylish men's shoes, made from wood (sole) and PU leather. Half sizes available (pretty rare) and the fitting for me was bang-on and very comfortable. (I am in the UK and the advice, as always, is completely ignore US sizes). The speed of delivery was also exceptional. A very pleased customer.
