Kenneth Cole Reaction Key Note - Just got them in. Great looking shoe that would look great for any occasion. Pictures don't do it justice. Design on bottom Sole and Heel is very nice. Shoes are an 11.5 and they fit me just a little larger than that. It is so-so in the comfort dept. yet overall a very stylish pair of shoes, well worth the price.

Good Casual Shoe - Nice look, adequate comfort - wears well with jeans. Reasonably comfortable loafer that looks like a boot. Better lining needed for better comfort.

Sharp, versatile shoe - I love this shoe. First bought the brown one, which is my favorite and looks great with dress pants or jeans. Liked it so much I returned to buy the black one. Not as sharp as the brown but still solid. I have owned them for a couple of months and so far so good. I plan to buy more after wearing these out.

Great Shoe - First pair of Kenneth Cole Shoes I've bought and I've enjoyed them every time I have worn them. The brown leather color was a little darker than I expected, but the color has been growing on me. They feel great, and I almost always get some complements when I wear them.

Nice shoe - Very nice shoe, comfortable, stylish, goes with many different looks. Just pinches a little on ankle process, but other than that, great shoe; 4 out of 5.

Great with Jeans - Not so much a dress shoe for business casual, but a knock out with long flared jeans and a sport coat. No break in required, Kenneth Cole is typically comfortable right out of the box.

Awesome shoes! I received these shoes for my birthday from my sister-in-law and I love them! They can be dressy or casual. An all-around great shoe! They are comfortable and they are true to size in my book. Highly recommend this shoe!

Good looking shoe. A bit narrower and longer than it appears in the picture but still a very attractive shoe. Very comfortable.

Yeah - The shoe is a good looking shoe, I wouldn't of bought it if it wasn't. The only issues I'm finding with the shoes are that the sole is kind of slick. The shoe isn't suitable if you're going to walk around in wet weather. I also tend to slide at times. So wearing these shoes to a club is not recommended, but otherwise for work, formal gathering, and dates the shoes are very suitable. The shoes are good and get more comfortable as you walk in them more often.

Too big! I'm not sure how 68% of people said these fit a size smaller than marked, I've found them to fit 1/2 size too large. I'm usually 10.5, these in 10.5 are a bit loose and since they're leather will only stretch. Anyways, they look GREAT and from trying them on my only complaint is they're really slippery on carpet and well, my office is carpet, so I'm going to break my neck. Other than that I'm ordering a half size smaller tonight and can't wait ‘til I can wear them!

Great Shoes!!! These are by far the greatest and the most comfortable shoes I wore. I have probably 30 pairs of shoes and I can honestly say that these could substitute for them all. They look just as good with jeans as they do with a gray or navy blue suit or the less formal pants/blazer combination. Brown color is fantastic.

Much pleased - One thousand words would not be sufficient to express my satisfaction with your product. I plan to purchase an additional in black. Thanks.

Great Shoe. Would Recommend!!! This is a very nice shoe. It felt true to size and very comfortable. Very light weight and excellent shoe to wear with dress pants. They look very nice, sleek, and professional. And the best part of it all was the free overnight shipping as promised and the shoe box came sealed brand new never tried on by anyone before not like most stores, and also you save time and money. Thank you very much Zappos!!!!

Love my Kenneth Cole - Wearing day 1 feels very comfortable although slightly larger than I expected. I had to put on socks. Looks FANTASTIC! Feels great! These will compliment from jeans to suit attire.

Awesome looking shoes - The best formal shoes I’ve ever had. Also the most fashionable. By the looks I thought they would be painful to wear, but it was the exact opposite. I'm very pleased with this pair and would definitely recommend anyone to buy them.

Wow! These are really great shoes. I've been told to stay away from KC shoes because they are a bit chunky, and it's true - lots of them are. I ordered these on a whim thanks to Zappos excellent return policy and instantly fell in love. The Key Notes are sleek, elegant, and very hot. I have the lighter of the two browns. They look great with jeans, and can be dressed up with slacks. If you have the guts to do it, I think they would look good with a dark grey suit - it would be a bold black/brown statement. Comfort-wise: I have big feet (14) and they pinch a tiny bit in the toe, but I think it will get better. They're slippery at first, too - you might want to get some rubbery things for the bottom.

Handsome, elegant shoe - Great shoe looks great with dress pants or designer jeans. I'm really a 12 1/2, but the 12 fits perfect. Only complaint is the sole is slippery, but that's common for this style of shoe.
