FlorsheimMontinaro Wingtip Oxford Men's Oxford

Florsheim Montinaro's cost substantially less than even entry level handmade shoes (Allen Edmonds), so as a young (poor) working professional, I ended up buying five pairs in varying styles and sizes. Here are my recommendations:1. They fit true to size; they're a little large, but not enough to go down a half size. I wear 10.5 D with athletic socks on, but size 10 D with dress socks. The three pairs of Florsheims I have in size 10 D all fit well; the 10.5 D pair is too large, the 9.5 D pair is too small (same as Allen Edmonds). The single monk strap Florsheims tend to feel the most loose, because there's nothing to cinch down around the ball of my foot. I don't really care for the single monk straps; they look kind of goofy in person.2. Provided that you polish them, it's harder to tell that these are cheaper shoes when there is no broguing, and if there is broguing (like on the Wingtip Oxfords), when they are black. The  Florsheim Men's Montinaro Double Monk Oxford, Saddle Tan, 10 D US  is my favorite. The  Florsheim Men's Montinaro Wingtip Oxford, Black, 10 D US  I like as well, but I would only buy in black. I bought a pair of wingtips in brown,  Florsheim Men's Montinaro Wingtip Oxford, Brown, 10 D US , but I can tell that they're not as high of quality as Allen Edmonds (nor would I expect them to be; but the contrast is more obvious). So personally if you want brown brogues, I would save up for a more expensive pair elsewhere.3. These shoes hold up really well, especially because the sole is rubber made to look like leather rather than real leather. I live in a very rainy city, and I'm hard on my shoes, and so far my two favorite pairs have taken a beating quite well.

The Florsheims seem to run long! This is the second pair I just bought of a different style, and they are LONG. Size 10.5 3EEE is actually 11.5 inch long. The toe box is too narrow for a 3EEE. The "the insole is fully cushioned with memory foam technology for long lasting comfort"; well sort of. The heel is well cushioned, but the toe area has minimal cushioning and one can easily feel the hardness of the floor. probably because the toe box is TOO small to allow any more cushioning and sell as a 3EEE. Compared to other brand "wide' shoes, these are about 1/4 inch narrower. OK with thin dress socks. but that's it. Hard soles are NOISY walking on a hard floor. You will be heard coming! As far as quality, they are well made. The upper leather at the ankle is soft and supple; does not dig in like other models (Lexington Wingtip).

I’ve bought this shoe for a number of years and have loved them. Typically they last me a year wearing them 5 days a week. I’m not sure what happened this time around but within a month of purchasing, the bottoms of the shoes appear to be deteriorating. I’ve included a comparison photo of the soles of the new pair after one month versus my old pair after over a year of regular use. Going to be sending them back.

Shoe looks and fits great. Pretty comfortable out of the box. Only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because one shoe came with a minor scuff.

On the first pair of these the stitching fell apart at the top of the upper after only about 10 days, but I'm hoping that was just a fluke. The second pair so far is going strong. They look and feel better than others in this price range (e.g. Bostonian or Rockport). The synthetic outsole handles wet ground like rubber but looks very much like leather. I wish higher end shoes would use something like that instead of only having the choices of dry ground only leather or ugly Vibram.My only complaint is the footbed. It's somewhere around 1/8" thick memory foam, which I'm sure is much better than the terrible strip of closed cell foam that's usually in shoes in this price range as an insole, but I never keep the stock insoles and this one is unnecessarily glued to the bottom of the shoe, forcing me to use less comfortable 3/4 length orthotics rather than fully replacing the insole.

I have loved Florsheim Shoes for the last 5 years. I have bad feet and they have fit very nicely for a while now. This was a re-order and this fit was very inconsistent. Since I travel in stretches I missed my window to return these small shoes. I'm very upset and now need to stop buying shes online. Amazon and Florsheim have completely lost my trust in buying clothes and shoes with consistency and safety online. I work in online retail and have used amazon and these shoes as an example in my sales experience and how the world is moving online, how it only safe if you trust the source. Now I have an alternative story. I don't usually negatively review buy am very upset with my trashing $86. I partially feel bad since I went to college with one of the Florsheim kids. SorryAs a product besides size, It's still a good shoe. I'm wondering if it's a knock off. I'll probably just go back to buying Florsheim from a live store.

Nothing like a brand new pair of Florsheim shoes. I'm concerned with some of these comments I see. The quality the comfort and the consistency. It's all here. Same Ole Florsheim. Dress shoes basics. ALWAYS pre-crease, NEVER just put them on. That means take out the stuffing and slowly bend invisible creases into the shoe as close to natural bend as possible. ALWAYS make sure you have shoe trees. Never wear your shoes every day, more like every 2 or 3 days. If they are genuine leather like ALL Florsheim shoes, then they need to rest, cure and dry. If you drag your feet, Florsheim shoes are not for you. If you are hard on shoes Florsheim shoes are not for you. While these are EXTREMELY high quality you can ruin a pair very quickly by treating them like a pair Stacy Adam's.

I’ve had many pairs of Florsheim dress shoes and these were right up there with them. First time buying dress shoes from Amazon, and they fit as expected. I’ve worn them quite a bit since receiving them. Very comfortable.

Great shoes, great look and great fit; it's always difficult to find a EEE size in stores but so much easier on internet; I ordered 9.5 EEE and the fit was just great; I also bought some cedar forms to put in the shoes when I don't use them.

El zapato me es quedo un poco más grande de lo normal

Great looking, very comfortable shoes. A little roomy for my liking but they're still wearable. I'd say size down half a size if you like a snugger fit. They look fantastic, and can be worn with anything. For the price they can't be beat.

Good utility shoes to wear in the office. I'd replace with the same thing in a few years but after 10 months of weekly wear they are standing up better than expected.
