Going great

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.

I enjoyed the purchasing experience

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..

My Romeros

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

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.

Very Pleased

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.

Very Happy with my new shoes!

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!

A quality product

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.

Very satisfied with the shoes.

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.
