Bruno Marc Males’s Gown Idler Footwear Monk Strap Slip On Loafers

Love these way more than I thought I would!
I thought these looked nice in the pictures and decided to buy them to try them out. I have been thinking of ordering a brand name pair similar to these, but have never owed any double monk strap style shoes. This was the perfect solution to test the waters, as these were about $50, and the brand name ones I like are about $250-$400.I have been so surprised right from the start! The box and packaging even exceeded expectations. There was a strange smell when I opened the box, but it dissipated pretty quickly.The shoes look amazing in person, especially considering the low price point. The upper is not leather, but most people would be able to tell just by glancing at them. The sole is rubber, which makes them comfortable to walk in. I will say, as far as new shoes go, these are some of the most comfortable dress shoes I have bought in a while that were this comfortable before even being broken in.I did not know how the strap system would work, so I was pleasantly surprised when I found that there was an elastic band paired to each strap, making these easier to get on and off. Getting them on can be a bit of a challenge at first, since they have to be tight enough to not slip off when you are walking. Just buy a cheap shoe horn for a few dollars and it will make it so much easier for you (not to mention, it helps prevents you from damaging the upper by twisting and jamming your foot in the shoe).I hope these shoes hold up for a while, because they look amazing and are sold at such a cheap price point. I may end up buying the remaining color options based off of how much I like this first pair!

Straps and buckles are small
These are very nice-looking shoes, but the straps and buckles are small compared to the rest of the shoe. I doubt anyone standing would notice this, but it’s something I see. The sides around my ankles hit the hard edge of each shoe, and I could see this being a problem when worn for long periods. I wear these around the house to see if they will break in. If I keep them I may need to add an insert at the heel to lift my foot a bit so I don’t feel the edges on my ankles so much until these are broken in.The stitching is well done and the soles look solid with a non-slip pattern. I’ll have to give these another week before I decide. The color is a deep amber and looks great when paired with any of my chino’s.

Nice pair of shoes!
I got these for my brother in law as a Christmas present. They were much nicer than I thought they would be. He absolutely loved them! He thought they were so nice and they fit. I would go with whatever regular size you go with because they fit, it wasn’t too big or too small.

Damaged on arrival, nice shoe though
Edit: The seller contacted me, and apologized for the product having been damaged. They told me I was welcome to keep the shoes but they also provided me with a full refund. I’m not thrilled with a brand new pair of shoes having damage before I’ve even worn them a day in the office, but considering they were effectively free, and I tend to put a lot of wear on my shoes / use them longer than I probably should, this experience wasn’t a bad one. The shoes themselves are nice, not comparable to something at a $200 price point, but for the price they go for I’d say they’re a good value. The interior has some decent cushion and the straps seem solid and well-stitched.Thought the price here was too good to pass up, but there’s some kind of gouge or imperfection on the right side of the right shoe, immediately out of the box. Disappointed and will be pursuing a partial refund or otherwise return.

Sientan muy bien. Mejor de lo que esperaba y son muy comodos.

Shoe fits well and looks stylish. Buckles could be a bit bigger. Price was reasonable.
