These are very classy looking, high-quality shoes. They seem to be well-built and are comfortable. There is a small name patch on the bottom of the sole, and while it looks cool, no one will ever know it's there but you. However, these shoes seem to have a design flaw, in that the heels are, first, made of a somewhat spongy material, and secondly, (and worse) there are several grooves that run across the heel that love to trap pebbles of every size! It never fails that I get at least one pebble that lodges in one of the grooves and it stays there tightly until I am able to remove it. It doesn't matter if the pebble is 1/8" or 3/8" it will get trapped in one of the grooves. I can see where it might be a real problem if you go from outside to inside where you have a hardwood floor. The hole, or depression, where the pebble used to be somewhat smooths out eventually but never completely, so you are stuck with a potholed and deformed heel. The heel needs to be redesigned. Otherwise, it is a very nice shoe that never goes out of style Take your chances.

After trying the ill-fitting Sperry suede oxfords I got these. They fit very well, but the aesthetics of the shoe are a bit lacking. The bottom rubber sole cheapens the look of the shoe a bit, and the light stitching looks awkward and cheap. The worst element of the shoe's design is the stitched leather emblem on the shoe's sole â?? very, very ugly and gaudy looking. After walking in them for hours on end they do get a tab uncomfortable (not enough support), but it's hardly noticeable. Other than that these are affordable and get the job done, but if you're looking for high quality and long-term durability you might want to spend a bit more for something better constructed.

Hubs loved the style, but found them too narrow (and he does not have a wide foot). Unfortunately, they have to go back.

I recently switched from the Pasadena to the Buckingham. I will be going back to the Pasadena. While the Buckingham is a lighter weight shoe, the sole is very slippery in wet or light snowy weather. The upper isn't quite suede I don't really know what it is. When you get a crease in the show, it looks awful. Likewise the upper will be shiny where there is a scrape or repeated rubbing. I would recommend only if you get a good deal.

About what you should expect from a shoe at this price. If you are hoping to find a hidden gem of exceptional quality, it ain't going to happen with this shoe. However, if you are in a pinch and looking for a suede buck with a classic brick red sole they are worth a try. From a distance (6 feet up, looking down) they'll pass.

Sized accurately. Decent shoe, light and supple. Reasonably thick sole and heel, however, like many shoes of this style, there is no arch support. The shoe tongue is very flimsy. You need to hold it when sliding your foot in or the tongue will slip down the laces. I should have spent more and opted for the Johnston & Murphy that wasn't available on the Zappos site. Convenience won out and I'm semi-satisfied.

While these shoes were comfortable and lightweight, they are NOT white, which is the primary reason I purchased them. They are, at best, bone; the laces are white, but not the shoe itself. If you're looking for a true white, look elsewhere. These were returned for a refund.

I am not sure what the other reviewers were referring to when they indicated these shoes were true to size and width, because they felt very small to me. I returned these, which is too bad, because I like the way they look and they seem to be well made.

These look much better than on your feet. The heel and sole and not as durable as other Bass shoes I have ordered. They look awkward when worn. These shoes will only last one summer for sure.

The upper part of the shoe lacked support. It was not firm enough. I save worn this type of shoe for years.
