I purchased the gray and the british tan for my husband & he loves them! Aside from being extremely comfortable, he gets many compliments when he wears these shoes! Very stylish too!

After looking around for a new pair of brown dress shoes I wound up getting a pair of the Madison Wings. After trying on Allen Edmonds, Too Boot NYC's, other high ends, etc. I realized that they were really stiff and in my opinion, overpriced. All of those had the beautiful look that I wanted but none of those had the fresh out of the box comfort that these Air Madision's have. With a shorter amount of time required for the break in period (and a lot less pain) I have been able to enjoy these shoes straight out of the box from day one. Be prepared for a narrower fit the first few times you wear them. They do stretch out and become even more comfortable. These run true to size (length). Overall these are a truly beautiful shoe. Well made and strikingly understated. Enjoy.

I purchased this shoe online for my son to wear in his wedding. We have had good experiences with the Air Nike line from Cole Haan in the past and felt confident ordering by the size he's previously found comfortable. He was thrilled with the shoe - the look, the fit, the style for his wedding (outdoor country casual). And, when the heavens opened and the rains came just as the vows began, they held up just fine for the stampede to the tent and, later, dancing in the mud. They cleaned up just fine and will serve him well into the future.

I have had these shoes for about 5 months now. I wear them every day, polish them regularly, and keep trees in them when they are not getting to know my feet. Right out of the box they looked great. They fit true to size, though are a few shades lighter than they look online. When wearing these bad boys, expect to strike up conversations with passerby's on "where you got those shoes from" "how the wingtip is making a casual comeback", or my personal favorite, "I'd love to tell you how awesome those shoes are over dinner". As for the belt situation, my 3sixteen golden belt matches perfectly. Saying there is no belt that pairs with the natural tones of the shoe shows a lack of effort.

The shoe looks great and feels even better. Unfortunately, there is no belt that actually matches this shoe. (Not even the "Madison British Tan Belt" which arguably only comes semi-close to matching the lighter tan in the sole) Good luck lugging this shoe between department stores in an effort to find a leather that matches its odd hue. I find it incredibly disappointing that not even Cole Haan can match their own leathers.
