    I love these shoes, and with the heel it makes me that much taller. I would recommend spending over 8 hours in them though!

    Looks professional enough to wear to the office and stylish enough to wear to after-work parties. The size matches what I ordered and what I wear.

    Comfortable shoes that I wear at work. Planning on ordering a brown pair soon. I note that I normally buy 11s in most shoes but 10 1\/2 in this brand so maybe they run big.

    I bought these shoes as a gift for my son who now lives 5 states away. They arrived in 2 days and he said they fit him comfortably right out of the box, the color of the leather looked like mahogany, and the quality was just what he expected from Kenneth Cole Reaction. He has been a KCR customer for a number of years, and this is his 6-7th pair of their shoes.

    These are classic attractive black shoes. Fancy but not too fancy. The kind I cannot find anywhere in boulder. They have a very elegant flare at the bottom of the sole. Get some.

    Great shoe - I'm not generally one of those shoe fanatic types but I've become a pretty big fan of KC Reaction shoes over the years because I think they are a solid value for the money. Particularly in brown leather these are a cut above others in this price range. They look nice and hold up well. Definitely worth the extra money versus some of the other lesser alternatives that may look comparable when viewing online. I've made the mistake of trying them. Save yourself the aggravation and buy these.

    Nice fit; handsome shoe - I have this shoe in cordovan; I bought it for more elsewhere this past summer. The cordovan was not such a great fit and I had to break them in. Not so with the black pair that I bought from Zappos! They were comfortable right out of the box! I spend quite a bit of time on my feet at work; I sell new homes for a living, so I need comfortable stylish shoes. These fit the bill remarkably well and I have put them in regular rotation. They have a pre-shined look that has a very nice patina. What I mean to say is that they don't look at all like patent leather; not that there is anything wrong with that! I have to say that I receive plenty of positive comments about the shoes from customers and associates. They are a fairly Alternative-Rock shoe if you want to compare them musically to a standard wing-tip which I would classify as Classic-Rock shoe, with a cap-toe being Hair-Bands.

    Kenny Cole is the man! Readers, a definitely great looking shoe for dress up and dress and dress down. Would recommend for the guy that's looking for shoe with class and good looks. The only drawback to the shoe is that it's just a little tight in the tongue area. However, I think when the shoe stretches, this will be relieved.

    Not sure at first but love them now - It took a few days to break them in as I developed blisters on both heels the first time I wore them. After day 3 they are perfect. Despite the rough start these are extremely comfortable shoes and are exactly the style I like.

    Awesome shoes! Very attractive, more than comfortable for dress shoes! Built in arch and other padding that makes these feel not so 'dressy'. Liked them so much I bought the brown and black ones!

    NARROW! I regularly buy shoes from the regular Kenneth Cole line, but this is the first time I bought a Reaction shoe, I was shocked at how narrow it was and had to have them stretched.

    Crap - My job requires that I wear dress shoes, KC Reaction was my previous choice. After 2 months the top seams of the toe opened followed by both shoe laces tearing apart and requiring to be replaced. I do wear dress shoes quit a bit but this was the most expensive, shortest lasting shoe I've ever owned.

    Nice Value - Very nice sophisticated look, the tip is kinda narrow, so it hurts the first time u wear them. Have worn them for 4 days in a row and becoming more and more comfortable. The padding inside is quite thick so no problem with the soles. Very nice semi gloos leather look. Dressy enough for dressy occasions, yet casual enough to wear with jeans. Very good for the value.
