Okay, let's just address the 600lbs gorilla in the room, YES, these are expensive shoes, In fact, one of the most expensive on BedStu's site. These are BedStu's Italian made line of shoes, I won't list all that entails that Italian line, as you can look all that up and make your own decisions!
As the buyer, you can see these are not traditional dress shoes, these are more of a hybrid between kick-it and classic dress! Could you wear it with a suit, yeah, but there are better choices, can you wear this with anything other than a suit, ABSOLUTELY!
Yes, they are true to size, I wear a 10.5 they offer no half sizes, but an 11 was perfect! Of course, like all BedStu shoes, they are well made with an extremely well made for the Italian line!
So, the bottom line is are they for you? Only you can answer that with the cost being just below $700 dollars. I will ad these are the MOST expensive shoes I've ever bought, but when I first saw them, I had to have them! I have this Saturday Night Fever, Travolta strut when I have them on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
