Florsheim Mens Duke 612

I bought boots similar to this style from Florsheim over 20 years ago and still have them, they are all leather not just the uppers with twice as thick of sole and no man made materials from India like these. I was so dissapointed with these I sent them back immediately. They looked like a pair of plastic shoes. I thought the color was brownish but they came with some outlandish conack color that looked crazy. So much for USA made Florsheim boots now made in India, when is this trend going to cease and make them here in America?

I carried an unresolved childhood desire for Beatle boots. These satisfied and exceeded that desire. The boots were needed for a wedding and they fit the bill. I was surprised at how well they immediately fit. I got used to the slightly-higher heel quickly. For dress or casual wear, they're very nice. I have purchased Florsheim shoes previously, and always appreciated the quality. I hope to enjoy these boots for a long time.

This is classic mens footwear. Nothing beats Florsheim for style and quality. This boot fits like a glove. I have wore Florsheim for years and know the exact size I need. I have been a loyal customer for almost 40 years. Nothing beats the quality of these shoes. I still have and wear my first pair.Update 2/29/16 - I have two pairs of these - one black, one brown and if I could give it 6 stars I would. Not only do they fit great (and you are the one responsible for ensuring you get the right fit, but Amazon's return policy can make sure you get that), they look great. I wasn't a big boot wearer, but I purchased a pair of very fashionable good fitting cowboy boots and liked the extra heel height and ankle support. I didn't like them for formal or church suit wear. Enter the Duke Boot.First, make sure you have your foot length and fit correctly measured, second - don't forget this boot fits the ankle and calf above the ankle. So read the review carefully. Third, when in doubt contact the seller. I have found that they are always very helpful in answering questions. They want you to have a good quality shoe just as much as you do.

I already have 10.5 EE and they are still uncomfortable at the end of the day because they are just a little too narrow. When these arrived I noticed immediately that they are very good looking, I liked them right from the start. When I put them on they were tight (too tight I thought) but from my experience with my other shoes, I wanted to wear them to let them stretch out. Well I wore them over a week and although they stretched out, they never even reached the size/feel of my EE width. Now...since I had worn them for over a week, every day, they were worn and there would be no chance returning them so I am stuck with some very good looking boots that don't fit...at all....If I were to do this again (which I am not) I would have preferred to try the 11 or 11.5 EEE. They might work but I don't have the money to try anything!!!

This boot was ordered as a replacement for the same Duke black boot that I previously owned since the early 2000s. The previous boot needed to be replaced based on its' condition. Needless to say (since I'm replacing the old Duke boot with the same styled boot), I like the style of this boot. This boot is very comfortable and durable. I always wear it for dress to impress type of occasions. It's an attractive boot and is appropriate for wearing with suits. Florsheim continues to manufacture high quality dress boots and shoes.

I still have a similar pair of Florsheim boots in a tan color which are more wing tip than the Dukes.. They are about 45 years old. They are a little snug on the feet every now and, then. They are size 11-D. So, in this Florsheim Men's Duke Boot, even though they are more rounded at the foes .. I automatically knew to size up by a half size. And, they fit perfect.

At first I didn't realize I had ordered the correct size but incorrect width so when I first received the first pair of boots I couldn't get my foot inside them.So I called customer service to explain what happened -they walked me through the process of returning them and reordering another pair that is not only the correct size but also the correct width -it was seem less !! -I just received the other pair today and they fit perfectly! -what a quality, well made pair of men's boots! I'm very pleased with my purchase -planning on buying another pair next month. I recommend this boot -the Duke!

So I took the advice of many about the sizing and ordered wider but not larger than my normal size. These seem to fit pretty well but they have a strange feel that I'm not sure I'll get used to. It could be the height of the heel but I'm not sure I'll be keeping them. Also they are very shiny which I guess I'm not used to. As stated by many, they have a hard, thin sole so I think I'll try the insole routine and see if that helps. I've considered sending them back and purchasing the Nunn Bush Bristol boot instead. They seem to have lower heels with nearly an identical look. We'll see.
