I love this brand, I love suede, I love the "worn look" and I love that the heel is not too high and the price was amazing! Major win all around. I have a big foot (12) and found them to be very roomie, comfy and totally hipster/cool. I am in the music industry so these are perfect to rock with leggings or jeans which is the unofficial industry uniform.

I really like the style of these boots. They can be worn with skinny jeans tucked into to the boot or with bootleg jeans, both look great! I loved them in black so much that I bought a second color.

Although I have not worn them outside yet, I find the fit to be fine. The heel height is comfortable. The look is stylish, perfect with jeans and a button shirt...sort of a western look. It could be a hair wider at the point where the small toes are.

Item sent as described. Good quality leather. Great customer service. I called because I needed to get a size smaller and the rep had my new pair in the mail before I sent the original pair back. This was my first order with Zappos and I will definitely order from them again without reservation.

These boots are really comfortable. The leather is soft and supple. I ordered a 9.5, which I usually wear, a 9 probably would have worked, but they are fine. Nice boot.

These are great boots and I bought them in black leather and cognac. I normally wear a size 8, occasionally need 8.5, but these boots have plenty of room in the 8 and have a comfortable fit, with plenty of room around the top so that it does not touch the leg. They look great with both pants and skirts and I've worn them all day with no problem. The heel height and shape are ideal for walking around the city. I would have loved them in suede as well, however, like the other reviewer, I don't care for the "worn" look at the heel and toe and think it is sloppy and unattractive.

These are a nice pair of casual boots, but are definitely not for dressy wear. The toe of the boot has that trendy "scuff" look to them. I knew that when I purchased them, and will wear them with jeans and casual attire. The heel height is good for me; I am not comfortable with high heel heights because of back surgery I had a few months ago. Order a half size smaller than what you normally wear, as they run about a half size larger then your normal size. I will be wearing thick socks with these boots.

This is a nice casual boot. It is not for dressier wear with a nice suit, dress or skirt outfit, however. Plan to wear it for casual wear only. The tip of the boot has the suede slightly rubbed off, which seems to be the style. Still, it is a nice looking trendy boot. It definitely runs a half size larger than normal. Plan to order one-half size down, even if you plan to wear thick socks with the boot. It will look great with jeans or casual attire. The heel height is okay for me; I have a back problem but still want to wear shoes and boots that have a nice style to them. Overall, I'm pleased with the boots. I will purchase a nicer pair to wear for those times I go out in nicer dresses and suits, however.

I ordered these in black, 8 medium (my usual size), but will be returning them. They were mostly comfortable except for a little snug on my left forefoot, and they were a little long. The leather is not smooth, but pebbled which to me gives a little more casual look although they could be worn with dress pants as well. The zipper did not slide smoothly which surprised me for Nine West since I have had very nice quality shoes from them in the past. I found some others that I liked better.

I really liked this boot, but am returning because I did not realize that it had a "broken in" look that I don't care for. Although they are obviously brand new (and I'm not saying I got used shoes), the suede on the toes and heels is worn looking -- not the style I wanted. Otherwise a nice looking shoe, I'm debating getting in the leather to avoid this issue.

These are legends in style and quality. After a short hiatus from Florsheim wingtips I purchased three pairs of these (Burgundy, Cognac, Black Tumbled ) 3 years ago. Yes, they are heavy and they take a while to properly break-in, but they are bulletproof and long wearing, although insole comfort needs augmenting with an insert if you will be spending more than 9-10 hours in them (I am a big gentleman and can abuse a shoe). Before I even wore them I purchased new cedar shoe trees and had heel taps added, to-date the soles are holding up just fine. Make sure they are properly air dried if they get wet and rotate your shoes every day if possible. Even though I care for them at home, they visit a good cobbler every few months of wear for a good polish and new heel taps. These shoes are classy and make you feel like a million bucks when you walk into a meeting! They look great with a suit or a pair of jeans and I have even had them out on the dance floor. There are many wingtips out there and I almost purchased Allen-Edmonds McClains, but I kept coming back to the authoritative timeless look of the Florsheim Kenmoor Wingtip with a double Goodyear welt sole.

Wow! Superb fit and comfort! Can't be beat for price. Double thick sole and extra wide welt like grandpa's old pair. I was just about to special order a pair of Aldens. Alden makes the very best shoe made in America. If you want the best - without going to England - get Alden. They are known worldwide for their cordovan (horse) leather, but they also make cowhide. Their shoes are expensive. But you can get two pairs of Florsheim Imperials for that price. Of course the quality is not the same, but these Florsheim Imperials are of high quality - better than Johnston and Murphy and Allen Edmonds, which have gone down in quality over the last 10 years. I'm pleased that Florsheim has resurrected the Imperial line!

I bought a pair of these in 1969, I still wear them today. I had to have the heel replaced, but the sole is still good. A great shoe.

Great shoe with great style. The leather work is excellent and this shoe looks great with slacks or jeans.

As good looking as Allen Edmonds but cheaper by a significant amount. Allen Edmonds are much more comfortable without any need for break-in which Florsheim Imperial Longwings require. But, Allen Edmonds are much more pricey than the Florsheim's. Alden is still the best American business shoe but also the most expensive of these 3.

These are great shoes. Very comfortable, great quality. It pays to buy good shoes when you have to wear them every day. I will be buying another pair in black very soon.

The shoes felt true to size, were very good looking and comfortable. I didn\'t even have to break them in. They\'re not as comfortable as my Luccese boots, or I would give them 5 stars.

It has been a while since I owned a pair of shoes of this quality and sole thickness but the meet every expectation I ever had. They are comfortable, although stiif in the sole area, at first. The leather lining is alkso comfortable to the foot when walking long distances. The quality of the workmanship in this shoes, certainly justifies the price...completely. Anyone who has served in the military will tell you that the thickness of the sole does make a big difference in walking and and maintaining the ability to keep on walking. Finally, the service from Zappos is second to none and the prompt delivery is exception. I am going for a walk now!\r\nGive them a try and you will agree, I am certain.

I have worn Imperials for years. They are the most comfortable dress shoe I have found, and maintain their appearance and shape for a greater length of time than any other shoe I have purchased. The style never gets stale. I currently own two pairs and are extremely satisfied. This next comment does not need to appear in the review: The color I ordered is not the color or shade that I received. This pair is not tan as shown.

I love these shoes. I ordered an 11 when I normally wear an 11.5 based on other reviews. I thought I had gotten them too small at first because the shoe was so stiff. I am so glad I stuck with them because after wearing them a couple of times, they broke in perfectly and feel like they were made just for my feet. I didn't think a shoe this firm would end up being so comfortable, but they are after a little time wearing them. They aren’t cheap, but they are very well constructed and built to last. I hope they are still making them when I have to replace them in about 20 years.
