I ordered the Downtown Dappers in Dark Brown with regular (B) width in November of 2023, and they are great. As a law student, these shoes meet my needs for nice shoes to wear with a suit or with business casual attire, and for networking, without breaking the bank (comparatively, when dress shoes from major brands often start at 3-figure prices). These shoes are comfortable, and affirming--I feel good in them as a transmasculine person who can't always find "men's" shoes in my size. There was no breaking-in period for these shoes, and they arrived quickly using the cheapest/standard shipping option. I replace the inserts in my Tomboy Toes shoes with a pair that provides more support, as the included inserts are thin foam that's not supportive or super breathable.
I also own the Roguish Brogues in Light Brown, which is actually orange. I'm glad I ordered the Downtown Dappers in Dark Brown, as they are actually brown. I'd love for the Roguish Brogues to also be available in Dark Brown!
Love the shoes!
I would love to share a good review of the shoes cause I was so excited when I ordered them but I haven’t received them yet. Not sure how long it usually takes but it’s been longer than I would’ve expected from a Canadian company since I live in Canada
The shoes are fantastic though they’re a little big on me. I think I messed up my measurements. Then again, I don’t know if they’re supposed to be on the tighter or looser end. Overall, I’m happy with these.
Love these shoes! This is my second pair. Great quality and comfortable. Highly recommend!
