This shoe is well-made, all leather, and smells great out of the box. I have issues with bunions, and so far wearing them causes less discomfort than other shoes, and will probably not cause any discomfort once they are fully broken in. They are a bit long on the toe, the way a cowboy boot might look. I would have liked some fancy stitching, but sometimes simple is the best way to go. I waited too long to get the black, but when they came back into stock, I snatched them up (sadly at full price). So if you see them get down to $150 again, buy, buy, buy. Just don't expect the black to be in stock at that price. :/
