Good, but not great. - This shoe has good lines. - It has modern classic lines that are stylish but not foppish. - The gentle square toe is sleek. - The apron stitch is subtle enough for a more expensive shoe. - Check the shoe before wearing it, because one shoe from the pair that I received had lop-sided stitching at the front of the apron stitch, which did not match the other shoe in the pair. - The leather is of good quality, with a good dressy shine. - The brown color is a bit light and cloudy, which is not as rich as a brown from Via Spiga. - It felt narrower than average. - The inside leather scrapes your big toe when you walk and can make it bleed. - The inside lining scrapes your ankle around the back rim of the shoe. - Nonetheless, for $100 this shoe looks like more expensive shoes from Kenneth Cole's high end line. - A sturdy and stylish shoe - as long as your toe heals.

Uncomfortable KC Shoes - Even though they are one of the best looking shoes I have ever worn, they are by far the most uncomfortable. They are very stiff and seem to not loosen at all after wearing them.

Great Shoe! This shoe is an excellent fit! I have worn KC shoes for years, and this is such a versatile shoe.

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.

Looks good in the photos. I was really prepared for a sharp pair of shoes. But something about the feel of the leather made me think more of plastic than leather: shiny and stiff. My first few wearing also bared that out. I wasn't sure who was going to win in this battle. These shoes or my feet. Finally, the shoes admitted defeat. (Pun intended.) They still squeeze noticeably around the wide part of my feet. Which is an odd sensation for me because I've always had narrow feet! One positive thing I can say is they have a nicely padded sole on the inside. But for the money, I thought I'd get a more comfortable shoe with more refined leather.

Looks good but some comfort is sacrificed - Shoes look great, good finish, but they are not very comfortable.

So far, So good - I've only worn these a few times, but they are quite comfortable and look great with my new suit. I haven't had any problems with them hurting my heel or my toe. They fit my foot really well

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.

Looks great...a little stiff - This shoe looks great but it is a little stiff and takes some time to break in. It's a classic and a keeper. Definitely fits true to size.

Great Looking shoe - Not very comfortable - Shoe is extremely narrow. Took me two days to break them in walking around the house with hiking socks on and still not real comfortable. Should have returned them. Did get a few compliments, however.
