Packaging The shoes arrived without a box. I shipped five shoes in one haul, and the agent removed all boxes to save space. If you need boxes for storage or resale, limit a haul to three pairs or fewer.
Accuracy They look very close to the real ones I have seen out and in photos. Badge position, heel text, shape, and stitching all match my references. Because I do not own a retail pair for side by side checking, I give accuracy 9/10.
Quality Leather on the heel feels soft, laces are thick, and the rubber sole feels solid. Stitching is neat with no loose threads. When I wore them they felt stiff and a bit flat underfoot. Many shoes ease up with wear, but for 72$ I hoped they would feel softer right away. Overall quality 8/10.
Fit True to size. No tight spots or inconsistencies. Fit 10/10.
Overall Score 8.5/10. The shoes look great and use good materials, but the stiff feel holds them back a little. If you are fine with breaking them in, they are a solid choice. If you want comfort from day one, consider other options.
