Great shoes for work/clubbing. I use them for work right now with khakis and a dress shirt. They look great. I got them because I like the boot look more and they give more support than standard loafers/dress shoes.

These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned!
These Skecher Alley Cats are the best shoes you could ever buy. They look great with everything and are absolutely the best. I work retail and spend at least 10-12 hrs a day on my feet. I've tried DeerStags, NunBush, and many other respected shoe brands and none of them could come close to the comfort level and durability of my Skechers. I have Nike Air's and Reebok DMX shoes that don't treat my feet this well. You must buy these shoes! Only one thing I can find wrong with them, they are a little stiff when you first put them on, but as the warmth of your body warms the leather, it softens right up (as all leather shoes do) YOU MUST BUY THESE! ! ! !

Nice shoe; using it as a work shoe and a casual shoe as well. Super durability. The picture shown looks like it's a bit of a 2 tone but it's not. Easy to clean these puppies to look like new again!

Great shoe for the price. The picture does not do justice to the texture of the brushed leather top. Needs to be broken in slightly.

These are great looking shoes, but that is where my love for them ends. They are EXTREMELY stiff and uncomfortable to wear and also have no arch support at all. I don't know how long it would take to break them in, but as uncomfortable as they are out of the box I wouldn't want to find out. These shoes are giant blisters waiting to happen. They also felt a little smaller than the size I ordered. I would order a half size larger than you normally wear if you are going to try them out.

This is the second pair I have owned. Great shoes, last forever, good for work and casual. Easy to break in and are pretty much indestructible.

Okay, the clincher for me buying these shoes was the name "Alley Cats" (personal reason). Initially, I liked what I saw and the price was right. Plus, I had a choice of leathers (3). What I got was a very pleasant surprise. They look great and they fit perfect. Great buy and great fit for the buck.

I owned a pair when I was younger and really liked the rugged yet sleek look.
I hope they will have these in the future.

This was my second pair. My first pair is 3 years old and is used for yard work. Can be worn without any break-in period. Very comfortable. Provides great traction in rain or snow.

Skechers doesn't disappoint with this in-your-face chunky shoe. It's surprisingly comfortable. I wear an 11.5/12 and ordered a 12; it fits just fine. Great style and aggressive lug sole. Precisely what one would expect from the older school Skechers (pre-Shape-Up nonsense...).

Great shoe for work. Good quality and good price. Have been wearing these for nearly 10 years as a work shoe.

I'm on my 2nd pair of these shoes along with a pair of black in similar style because I love them so much. The new leather smell is great, they last a long time and are very comfortable. I was glad to see Zappos carries them in a wide style that fits my flat foot great. I wear them to work daily and am a computer programmer so they don't get a lot of wear and tear, but are pretty comfortable to me for office use. I've been sticking with sketchers for quite a while now and love their shoes.

Brooks are great walking shoes for those with flat feet and usually have the right arch support needed.

I bought these shoes for my boyfriend who has very wide feet. He loves the shoes and has commented on how comfortable they are. I think they are a very good looking shoe!

I didn’t realize that these were suede! I bought them for another shoe to wear in winter. Oh well! They are very nice to look at it, they feel comfortable and I really enjoy them. They could have just a little bit better arch support, and I’ve got some rubbing on one heel.

The dark brown version of the Alley Cats are very nice looking, comfortable, casual shoes. The price is right and they get compliments. I also previously bought a black pair that, though look nice initially, are not very durable in that the leather starts getting worn and flaky if not cared for, very fast. The suede texture of the dark brow pair has proved much more durable and indeed prove to be scuff resistant. I highly recommend them.

I love Zappos return policy. My original pair of Skechers was 1/2 size too big. Once I got the proper size they feel great. Just what I wanted, a substantial shoe for walking and a casual office environment.

Marvelous shoe. I grew up seeing classmates wear this in school, but it wasn\'t until high school that I got my own pair in Guam. I wore it sometimes in high school, but I mostly used it for casual purposes. It\'s perfect. Looks handsome and cool with jeans, khakis, or even formal attire (I twice wore this with a Filipino barong), and it\'s comfortable and durable too, resisting abuse I inflict on it in the form of rain, mud, or uneven terrain, and still coming out nice. It\'s a great all-around shoe you won\'t regret getting.

These shoes are amazing. My husband's prior pair of Alley Cats held up beautifully for several years of intensive daily wear (we do a lot of walking, occasionally in bad weather). They are also comfortable and versatile; he wears them to work as well as on weekends, and they look great with jeans and khakis alike.

The best shoes I've ever owned.
When I bought my first pair of these, I never imagined that I would still wear them regularly 3 years later. I would still be wearing them if I hadn't bussed tables in them for around a month.
I'm on my second pair now, and I want a suede finish pair to compliment them. They're durable as all hell, comfortable, and look awesome with any type of clothing I own. I can dress them up or down and wear them with anything below a suit really. Working 8+ hours (selling shoes.. go fig!) is not a problem.
I recommend these shoes to anyone that comes into my department, and most wind up walking out with a pair. A few have even come back to thank me for turning them onto these shoes.
Great.. try a pair out. They're just awesome.

These shoes are comfortable, versatile, and hard to damage, but they're not very durable over the long term. I've probably gone through three pairs in the last four years; inevitably the laces will come apart around the same time that the sole starts to crack open. I suppose that's not terrible given the price, but it's annoying all the same. I just wore out my last pair and I think I'll try a different brand this time.
