Florsheim Doon Saddle

Vey nice looking shoe. I got this shoe for my husband. He really likes them. He said they were true to size and comfortable.

Had the shoes about two months. They looked really great out-of-the-box. In fact I've never gotten more compliments from random strangers on the streets about shoes. My favorite was a street musician who was performing and stopped midsong and said "Mr. You have some really nice shoes." But as good as the shoes look they have some serious flaws. First the bottom sole of the shoes is some kind of soft foam rubber. Never again will I buy shoes that has this foam rubber. First they have no grip and they are incredibly slippery if any surface you walking on is polished and wet. Watch out for a wet manhole covers are wet marble floors with the shoes / ice skates. Also This foam rubber is this brownish red and easily picks up dirt in any sort of discoloration from the street. So your shoes look nice from the top and then if you sit down the kick up your feet, everyone else sees brown black spots underneath like a leopard. Not too nice looking. The third very strange thing about this soft rubber foam is the fact that picks up small pebbles or rocks. These items literally sink into the foam of the shoe. Some of them you can pick out and some just leave this little hole. Eventually the hole fills in and pebble falls out But it's just a very strange occurrence. Also the insole is glued and is a foam fabric. But within two months foam started to tear in the heel area and was literally wearing out. I was greatly annoyed that shoes insoles would become worn out just by wearing them. Eventually I had to rip out the insole and install one that was more durable. Also I don't think the shoes would be very comfortable in the warmer or summer months as they don't seem very breathable I would gladly get another suede oxford style shoes like this. But never with this foam rubber sole, and likely not from this same company. Appearance very high marks, quality very low marks.
