Pro: Awesome looking shoes. Well made. Con: Size runs small and narrow. Hope the shoes stretch soon or they will not be my "go to" everyday business shoes.

Great shoe - The shoes are lovely and reasonably comfortable for dress shoes. They are on the fancy side, though, so the leather is very shiny. They are also a bit more narrow than average.

Great shoe! Excellent finish and materials. The shoe fits true to size and is very comfortable after only a couple of hours of "break-in". Excellent looking traditional dress shoe goes perfectly with business attire. Zappos support is top notch!

Excellent shoe for dress and comfort - I bought this shoe for work--I wear suits daily. It's simple but professional style and look, plus the lace-up, got my attention. The leather sole sold it--I've had bad luck with those rubber donut-hole soles before. The price was OK--more than I usually would spend, but I've been very pleased. And pleasantly surprised with the "out of the box" comfort and wearability. A plus: they arrived within just a couple of days.

Classic look, modern comfort & appeal - Hard to find fault with this shoe. It has a timeless cap-toe look with a great leather. The shoes look phenomenal with dress slacks, khakis, or even nice jeans. Stiff at first, but give them a week to soften up and you will be very happy. I was skeptical that something like this could be so comfortable, but I love wearing these every day. A solid choice and a must-have for any wardrobe.

Simply the Best...Zappos I mean - The shoe fits great…as expected. The real story is Zappos. I refuse to buy my shoes anywhere else. I'll go to a store, try on the shoe, and then order it from here. This company is a few cuts above the rest...PERIOD!!!

Beautiful shoe, runs a bit small - I was very impressed with this shoe as soon as I opened the box, but I was disappointed when I tried it on as it was too small. I'm a pretty standard 9.5M, but this shoe had the size of a 9. I compared to other shoes of 9.5 size and it was smaller. I returned this shoe, but I was very happy with the look and construction. I can't really comment on comfort.

Cole Haan Caldwell Review - I made the mistake of buying two pairs of Caldwells at the same time. Of course, in the store, they felt fine; however, upon wearing them all day, the shoes just made my feet hurt. I have even tried expensive shoe inserts, but the shoes are the worst I've even owned. I will stick with Allen Edmonds and Johnston Murphy. In retrospect, I should have passed on the Caldwells, and instead, bought Johnston and Murphy's Melton. The Meltons fit very well and needed no breaking in. Ironically, the single pair of Cole Haan's I bought before Nike purchased the company is excellent.

I'm a second time buyer of these shoes. The only complaint, if I dare call it that, is that there is a short "breaking-in" period, but trust me when I say these shoes will be nicer than any other shoe you come across. Don't think twice about purchasing these shoes, and certainly don't waste your time using anything but Zappos to do so!

I bought these shoes over five years ago to go with my tuxedo (and still be versatile for work). They have held up very well, and I have resoled them once.

A very nice shoe, fit well, looks good. I was hesitant to purchase online, but it was a great fit right out of the box. Delivery was quick as I needed the shoes for an event.

Way too big to be a 6 1/2. It fits like an 8. Maybe they made it longer because I ordered a wide?

I wear steel toes far more often than dress shoes, and these cost about as much as I was willing to spend. I tried them on when they arrived, and the fit seemed okay enough to keep. Well, I spent a whole night at the opera, and they are the most comfortable dress shoes I've ever owned. The "okay" fit turned into a remarkably great fit after about 20 minutes. I'll never spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on a pair of shoes, but the Caldwells are what I would expect to get if I did. A great value! Purchased size 12 narrow.

I wore it, hoping it would break in and be comfortable. It never improved and created sores.

When I first received them I didn't want to wear them; they looked so nice. First day was a little rough as the backs rubbed my heels, but by the second day they were the most comfortable and best-looking shoes I've owned. Note to complainers: if the size feels wrong, there's free shipping. So whining about it gets you nothing. Shoe sizes are not standardized so you have to be patient with such things.
