A great all around versatile shoe for daily wear. Pretty much the same shoes I wore growing up in the 60's and 70's. The leather is soft and supple including the insoles and the outsoles are sturdy making the shoes very comfortable. The quality of these shoes is obvious and the workmanship is impeccable. The only caveat is the sizing - they tend to run a little narrow. I have a small bunion on my right foot, and as a result the size 11D, which normally fits well, was a little tight over the instep of my right foot. After about 5 days of stuffing a lacrosse ball into the right shoe and wearing them for 2-4 hours a day , they have broken in nicely. I look forward to many years of enjoying these classic, workhorse shoes and anticipate they will only get better with age. Many thanks to Quoddy for keeping the proud tradition of handmade Maine craftsmanship alive. By the way, their customer service is very good. Proud and honored to support them!
