Anthony VeerRoosevelt II Double Monk Strap Dress Shoes for Men | Double Side Strap | Goodyear Welt Construction | Recraftable Leather Sole | Full Grain Calfskin Leather Upper

The first pair I received appeared used, with slight scuff marks on the sole and wrinkles on the straps from multiple adjustments, so it was probably a return. I was actually cool with that, but nobody checked to assure quality before sending that pair to me. One buckle was missing it's tang, hence was unusable so returned it. And left a review commenting on the quality issues.The cool part is that Hand Welt Company (a.k.a Anthony Veer) reached out of their own accord to make things right. The second pair were clearly new, and flawless. Fit was pretty much as expected, though slightly narrower than other brands so you might need to go 1/2 a size up. Quality is evident, with heavy, hand-stitched sole, good leather, and quality fit and finish. And, they come with a nice shoe horn and a second cushioned insole for sizing.

This is the second pair of Anthony Veer shoes I've purchased and I am now a loyal customer for life. The quality is superb, the comfort is amazing, the craftmanship is second to none. Oh and you get a quality brass shoe horn in every box of shoes you get! I get compliments all the time from men and women. Like all handcrafted leather shoes, you have to break these in. It shouldn't take longer than a couple weeks with regular use. These shoes have leather soles, keep than in mind if you don't like shoes that call attention. I like the sound leather sole shoes make. I feel like you can hear the quality as you take your steps. They are not obnoxiously loud, just the right amount of sound and pitch. Not a crazy high pitch sound that some other leather soles make. I use them everyday for work, I'm a Banker, and even after work when we go out. They definitely get used a lot but they stay looking new. The soles last a long time too. I'm a big guy so any leather sole shoe that lasts longer that 6 months is good in my view. Well if you can see when I purchased these, it's almost been a year! Soles still going strong! Great shoes, definitely worth every penny! Even if you dont have a lot to spend, see it like this. You can buy these shoes that will last you forever, or you can buy cheap shoes at that blue letter department store named after a character in the show Friends and spend more a month later after they're ruined. You get what you pay for!

This shoe was incredible!!! Very well made. Wonderfully constructed. Soft, supple leather. Felt wonderful. I LOVED THEM! But I usually wear a size 11. After reading reviews I ordered a 10.5. The were still too big so I returned them When I went to order size 10s it was too late. I'm so sad. I was really pleased with these shoes. They came expertly packaged, and the box included a shoe-horn. If they were still available in my size I would order them in a heart beat. GET THESE SHOES! But order a full size smaller than your normal size.Update: I ordered a size 10 as soon as they became available. Received them last week. LOVE THEM!!! Great Shoes!

**Update**The manufacturer contacted me to let me know what happened with my shoes. They very quickly arranged a replacement get sent to me at no extra cost. I have updated my rating to 4 stars for the wonderful support. The issue itself still happened but I am glad their support and warranty was so responsive and friendly. Will easily look for more products from them.I do not normally write reviews of products and would hardly call myself an expert. The product was wrapped and presented great. The bottom metal post on my right shoe that goes through the hole on the strap had already fallen out when i received it. I had to put it back into place when i received it and i pinched it closed with some pliers. Its not the end of the world but that mixed with the black dye that ended up on the back of the straps made it seem like very poor quality control. I gave it two stars because the shoes seem to be ok so far but i have my doubts they will last long.

As a buisness professional in corporate America, dressing well and being comfortable are very crucial. A couple months back I purchased my first pair of Anthony Veer shoes and I could not have been more satisfied. From the packaging to the fit and style of these shoes, they truly capture the meaning of elegance in the workplace. I have received many complements from my colleges and they too have purchased a pair for themselves. One of those colleges did receiev his shoes with a subtle blemish on the toe .However he wrote a message to Athony Veer's support team and they readily heard his concerns and quickly resolved his issue. Overall extremely impressed with the shoe and the company as a whole, I highly recommend this brand and will continue to support and promot them!

PRO: The details on the shoe are very good, the company does a good job showing its quality. Each shoe was in its own cloth bag and included a free metal shoehorn. The overall quality is above average and something you would expect from a $150-200 shoe.CON: These shoes run BIG, I'm not talking about a 0.5 difference, I'm talking about at least a 1.5-2 difference. I'm a size 12 and I had about 1.5" of extra room which made the shoes uncomfortable to walk in, thus its return. Also, as the shoes have smooth leather soles, there is no grip; walking a few steps on a wood floor didn't feel so safe, so walking fast on a smooth floor would be dangerous.

Very nice! Stylish and durable. Comparable to shoes costing 2 to 3 times as much: leather upper and leather sole, sewn welt around entire shoe - doesn't stop at heel as do cheaper shoes. The shoes are nicely finished, leather is supple, no defects, no flaws. Packaging is a cut above average too. The shoes came with sized extra insoles, shoe trees, a shoe horn, and protective fabric dust bags inside the box.. As for the fit, it is remarkable - as though custom made for my feet. This is a great buy!

So very comfortable!Snug enough as the pinch for the first few wears but now so fitting.Could benifit from a tad more resistance on the sole, just a wee bit to slick. I can see myself needing to get them re shod eventually.Smart, soft and so very suitable for day to day office wear.

Great quality, look fantastic, good stitching and they have a really nice leathery smell to them. Much higher quality than I expected. Packaging is a+ with little cloth bags etc. I even got a free (I think steel?) shoehorn in the box. My only complaint is that they need rubber soles put on at the cobblers (I do that with all my shoesbthat don't have them already like ted bakers etc and it's only a £10 to do) to protect them and make them less slippery as they only have rubber on the heel. Still all-round, a fantastic pair of shoes for the price. I am impressed, 5 stars

As described, good product.

It felt a bit tight first but the leather loosened after a week to fit me perfectly.

Very comfortable and really well made

Totally Fabulous

This is my 2nd pair of Anthony Veer shoes and I’m once again astounded by the value. The leather is quite high quality and the shoes adapt to your feet quickly getting more and more comfortable. They also develop a beautiful patina. The box also contains a free shoe horn of high quality as well as soles. The shoes are individually wrapped. I will definitely look into buying more of this brand in the future.

Fit was as expected/ The shoes look great and the price was very reasonable

Can’t go wrong with man shoe choice / well made

after a while the back of my heal started to hurt and I had to go back to old pair of shoes. but the look good!
