The first days the footwear was a little hardish. Already much better. The sole under a heel has quite rigid ledge of not so clear appointment. I hope, over time it also becomes softer. Appearance and quality quite good.
These are a good shoe overall, especially when you consider the sale price. A little stiff at first but broke in quickly. Comfortable for all-day wear. The leather upper does seem a little thin and there's not a lot of arch support. The soles are quite slippery on wet concrete floors. However, it is getting really difficult to find a decent sturdy oxford shoe with a 'lug' sole. I need a good shoe for work, on my feet all day on concrete floors.
I wish I'd ordered a second pair, my size/width is sold out and it looks like this style is being discontinued. My only complaint is the rather high shipping cost to Canada. So if you're thinking about getting a pair of these, act quick.
