Sorry for the lack of pics, but my cell phone camera hasn't been working well lately. Based of Sabir's suggesstion, I bought a pair in Brown.
Pro's
-Non shiny leather. For $70, I was expecting that super shiny Stacey Adams look, but the leather really does look good.
-They seem fairly sturdy, I haven't worn them yet (I need exchange them for a smaller), but just trying them on and the over feel, I don't think these will fall apart.
-Good color, will go with pretty much anything but charcoal and black.
-Overall, just a really good looking shoe. Its not AE, but you could wear these with a suit with no problem.
Con's
-They rune really long. I vacillate between a 11 and 11.5 in dress shoes. The reviews said they run a bit long so I ordered a 11. I'm exchanging them for a size 10. There is no other shoe in which I even wear a 10.5. So order down one size (at least).
-This is a personal style perference, but they do have a more elongated toe than I thought it would be. Very European style of shoe. I prefer a more rounded toe. But again this is a personal perference, not a true negative.
Overall
-A great pair of beater dress shoes. I own two pairs of AE, which I wear about every other week to work. I always have a pair of cheaper brown oxfords and loafers to wear the rest of the time. While inexpensive, these shoes don't feel cheap and certainly look better than anything else in the $70 price range. I will wear the hell out of them until they fall apart.
