Florsheim Montinaro Wingtip Oxford Shoes

Florsheim Montinaro’s cost substantially less than even entry level handmade shoes (Allen Edmonds), so as a young (poor) working professional, I ended up buying five pairs in varying styles and sizes. Here are my recommendations:
1. They fit true to size; they’re a little large, but not enough to go down a half size. I wear 10.5 D with athletic socks on, but size 10 D with dress socks. The three pairs of Florsheims I have in size 10 D all fit well; the 10.5 D pair is too large, the 9.5 D pair is too small (same as Allen Edmonds). The single monk strap Florsheims tend to feel the most loose, because there’s nothing to cinch down around the ball of my foot. I don’t really care for the single monk straps; they look kind of goofy in person.
2. Provided that you polish them, it’s harder to tell that these are cheaper shoes when there is no broguing, and if there is broguing (like on the Wingtip Oxfords), when they are black. The

 is my favorite. The

 I like as well, but I would only buy in black. I bought a pair of wingtips in brown,

, but I can tell that they’re not as high of quality as Allen Edmonds (nor would I expect them to be; but the contrast is more obvious). So personally if you want brown brogues, I would save up for a more expensive pair elsewhere.
3. These shoes hold up really well, especially because the sole is rubber made to look like leather rather than real leather. I live in a very rainy city, and I’m hard on my shoes, and so far my two favorite pairs have taken a beating quite well.

Todo bien

I’ve had many pairs of Florsheim dress shoes and these were right up there with them. First time buying dress shoes from Amazon, and they fit as expected. I’ve worn them quite a bit since receiving them. Very comfortable.

These are very good shoes. Comfortable, stylish and really good value. Highly recommend. Would buy again.

Nothing like a brand new pair of Florsheim shoes. I’m concerned with some of these comments I see. The quality the comfort and the consistency. It’s all here. Same Ole Florsheim. Dress shoes basics. ALWAYS pre-crease, NEVER just put them on. That means take out the stuffing and slowly bend invisible creases into the shoe as close to natural bend as possible. ALWAYS make sure you have shoe trees. Never wear your shoes every day, more like every 2 or 3 days. If they are genuine leather like ALL Florsheim shoes, then they need to rest, cure and dry. If you drag your feet, Florsheim shoes are not for you. If you are hard on shoes Florsheim shoes are not for you. While these are EXTREMELY high quality you can ruin a pair very quickly by treating them like a pair Stacy Adam’s.

We purchased these shoes for my husband and he LOVES them! They are excellent quality and he says they are very comfortable. It is often necessary for him to wear these shoes all day and he said they felt great the whole time. He generally wears a 10.5 but we usually go up 1/2 size in dress shoes. The size 11 were perfect. These shoes are SUPER sharp for dress wear (quality of leather and shine are great), and the Amazon price smoked the department store prices. He has both black and tan and loves them! We are very pleased with our purchase.
