Does anyone know if Mercanti Fiorentini or Vittorio Russo (dsw in house brands) fits true to size? Also hows the construction/quality on these?

No experience with Vittorio Russo but purchased 2 pair of Mercanti Fiorentini about 4 years ago, the double monks and a pair of cap toe oxfords. Quality meh, not great, not terrible, but I found both pair super comfortable straight out of the box. 10 1/2 D fit true to size. Unless they've gone really far downhill since then, sounds like a great deal IMO.

Funny, same question crossed my mind today and thought about posting the same question. I tend to straddle the 10 and 10.5 size. I ended up ordering a pair of Fiorentini penny loafers in 10.5. I will let you know when they come in.

I also thought about ordering both sizes. At the price they are going for right now, plus free shipping, no major risk. Just return the pair that didn't fit!

I normally wear an 11 1/2 E in AE so I tried on an 11 1/2 and a 12 in the mer wing tip and the 11 1/2 fit me perfectly. Some of the most comfortable dress shoes I own. I think the quality is pretty good for a DSW shoe. Close to a Cole Haan maybe. I bought 3 pairs during this sale for rainy weather days. They seem to hold up well to the elements. I can't bring myself to wear even my danite AE during the rain!

ah ok thanks. I ended up sizing half a size down (8.5) from my nike/nb running shoe size (9).... hopefully it works out O_O

my other cheap dress shoes (new republic) are 8.5 though so who knows...

My AE's and Mercs are the same size.

If anyone is still interested, the 10.5s fit like a glove (in dress shoes I hover between 10 and 10.5)

Pretty happy with the wingtips I bought for $35 bucks. I wear a 7.5/7.5 E on the 65 last. Went with a 7.5. Fit well.

Yeah, I got a cognac and a burgundy wingtip and a burgundy captoe. They honestly fit and fell better than most of my AE's did out of the box. They are decent looking and really comfy shoes.
