Great shoes
Best custom made shoes on the market.
Great quality!
After 1.5 years and infrequent but regular use, these are still in great shape and clean up very easily. Break-in wasn't too rough and they fit great.
Good shoe. Feels good. Great price
I enjoyed the purchasing experience very much.. the video check in's with the Guatemalan craft team making my shoe and showing me the progress of the shoe was unique and made the 3 week wait go fast. My first shoe sizing was a bit big by a half size, but the return process was easy and the next size down was perfect. Very comfortable to wear and I get complements every time. The blue Romero's go well with today's men's office attire of dressing down and up once and a while. they look great with blue jeans or dress slacks. Highly recommend this shoe company..
Shoe fits and look great!
Beautiful, quality, comfortable shoes
Wore them once. So comfortable.
Perfect color and fit. Love it.
Beautiful shoes, and the fit is true to size. Will definitely buy from Adelante again!
Best shoes I've ever owned. Comfortable from the first time I put them on my feet.
I look forward to wearing these shoes more regularly but am now in Covid-19 sequester and am not getting out much.
I haven't had the chance to wear them out as expected, and break them in. But appear to be great, and the right fit.
I have worn nothing but Allen Edmonds shoes for the past 15 years. Fit great, look good, long lived with basic care.
My Romero shoes compare favorably. Leather is high quality. You can discern by the smell and the feel. The fit is excellent; they molded to my feet after two wearings. I especially liked being able to order a different size for each foot. Due to injury, my left foot is wider than my right; now I don't have to wear oversize on my right foot. I find these shoes very comfortable.
Perfect? No. One of the shoes has a single doubled sole stitch. The ankle area has slightly too much leather that gaps just a touch. Provided laces are about an inch and a quarter too short.
The Romeros compare very favorably to a pair of Italian bench made shoes I have worn for 20 years.
Would I buy Adelante shoes again? Absolutely. That is the best possible recommendation.
I'm hooked. Great quality. Planning my next pair.
Lucky find at Union Square holiday market! This is a fantastic shoe
These are top quality shoes, good fit and built to last.
My new shoes showed up on time, and fit very well. Since I receive them, I’ve traveled quite a bit and have worn them in the snow, the rain, and with casual clothes and business clothes. I’m Very Happy, and I have received multiple nice compliments about my new shoes!
Went to the store & had them measure my feet. Perfect fit right out of the box. Quality is superb.
Bought them for my husband for Christmas and he loves them! The first day he wore them they fit perfectly and conformed to his foot. Nice work!
Remarkably, the shoes fit, which is big news for me. I wear orthotics and finding any shoes at any price to fit has been impossible until now.
The also look great.
I would not shop for shoes anywhere else.
shoe
Very nice, but really heavy
Love shoes in general.
Expensive doesn’t always make them better as in many things
Found this shoe company by happenstance and ordered by color and style online. Love blue shoes!!!
Just got into Vegas with my Romero’s in tow and cannot wait to wear these out for an evening
Style, look, comfort and quality are awesome
My new favorite shoes!!!!
At least until my Luca’s come!!!!
This is my third pair of Adelante shoes. Love them. Very stylish and comfortable.
Very satisfied with the shoes. Only negative observation is that they are noticeably heavier than most other shoes I’ve purchased in the last few years. That said, the fit is very comfortable and they look good.
Love em!
A fantastic shoe that has led me to a company which will serve as my go-to shoe provider moving forward. Quality materials and craftsmanship coupled with a very sharp design. Incredibly comfortable.
Loved my whole experience from cobbler to customer. These shoes fit well and feel like quality. Would absolutely reccomend.
Ordered in a custom size, shoe is excellent in all ways. No complaints at all, only joy!
