Already own the same shoe in brown very satisfied and agree. For nearly 45 I've now even the black worried. Wear it almost every day at work. Since it is my opinion normal that it acts gradually eroded after 6-9 months. This is similar with my Rieker transgressors. Carrying normally size 47/48. This Bugatti size is big and I even fits size 46, thanks to the wide section. The only catch for me is the extreme smell, the counter fails when opening the box. This however verflüchtgt soon and do not bother me anyway because my nose is mostly carried 1.80 m above the shoe. For this money, the shoe is absolutely in order and recommended.
