These stores have decent weight to them but comfortable and weight comparable to similar shoes with leather upper and rubber sole. The leather is perfectly matched and stitching all around this shoe is without any significant error. It's a sore you would compare with Italian and Spanish shoemakers.
The toe box allows for comfort. Please note than the first few wears off the shore may feel tighter than you may be used to, however give it time to allow this beautiful leather to accommodate your feet.
I have issues with a bunion and general foot pain and I'm wearing this without an insert or orthotic.
The sole of the store is sturdy and will hold up and Cole Hahn doesn't disappoint at all. If you take care of these stores you'll have them for a decade like my first pair.
Priced very competitively I would much rather pay for a very high quality leather upper shoe than purchase other materials that might take less care but won't go the long haul like these will
Enjoy!
