Mona flyingWomen's Stacked Heel Wingtip Oxfords Ladies Comfortable Lace-up Leather Brogue Shoes

I wanted a pair of tan Oxfords, but I'm a little picky when it comes to online shopping. So I bought five pairs of Mona Flying and Mikcon shoes to compare.The two brands are very similar, even packaged similarly. The two pairs of Mikcon shoes that I bought had stiffer leather, and were wider around the middle of the foot than the Mona Flying shoes. Mikcon also rubbed the back of my heel a bit, but that would probably go away with some stretching out/wearing in.The Mona Flying shoes looked slightly more 'dainty' and were narrower, especially with the pointy toe, but overall they felt more comfortable on my foot. The softer leather had more give, and nothing pinched or felt too tight. One of the Mona Flying pairs even had a padded heel, which was a nice touch.Photo 1, from L to R:1. Mona Flying Brown 2 - the color of this one is more yellowish, and the details look especially dainty and feminine compared to the others. The cushion on the back of the heel is a nice touch. Of all the pairs, this is the only one where the upper flaps with the laces still meet each other even when it's being worn. The flaps on the others all spread a little.2. Mona Flying Brown 3 - I kept this pair because it wasn't too stiff or too feminine for me. The color is a bit uneven, and you can see brush strokes where they painted it on. So that's a little disappointing, but not a deal-breaker for me.3. Mona Flying Brown - two-toned shoe, the softest leather of the whole bunch, looks more feminine than the Mikcon two-toned shoe. Less ornate detail, a simpler looking design. Really stylish shoe, I'd have taken it if the leather felt stronger (I'm pretty rough on my shoes). The thinnest part around the ball of the foot moves and wrinkles easily.4. Mikcon Brown-Blue - Mickon shoes have a less pointed toe, and stiffer/thicker leather than the Mona Flying options. Despite having slightly more space inside the shoe, it pinched in a couple spots like the heel so would have needed stretching to fit comfortably.5. Mikcon Brown 4 - identical to blue-brown except no blue.Photo 2: From right to left, the shoes are in the same order as photo 1, just shown from the front.Photo 3: all 3 solid-brown shoes.

I'm standing on my toes in this photo to show how the Mona Flying toe area is thinner and softer. The other Mona Flying shoes weren't quite as soft as this pair -- they had more layering -- so this pair is especially soft and comfortable, though I imagine the softer leather would probably wear out sooner. The leather was SO soft that sometimes the shoe looked a little misshapen. From L to R:1. Mikcon Brown 42. Mona Flying BrownPhoto 8: Mikcon Brown-Blue shoes. There were a couple cosmetic defects on this one pair, such as the rubbed white spot on the side of the sole, shown here.Photo 9: Mona Flying Brown shoes.

Mona Flying BrownOverall, I'm really impressed with the quality and comfort of all these shoes. Some reviews noted the smell -- all five of these pairs had a strong smell of leather and chemicals when I took them out of their boxes. It seems to go away quickly.I hope my research helps someone else make a decision!

Love everything about these shoes!!! They fit like a glove with room for my bunions as I sized up from an 8 to 8.5 to ensure a little extra room. I wear mine with trouser stockings, otherwise to tight with regular socks. Everything is perfect about these shoes especially the rich Blue color!!! My favorite color<3

Beautiful well made shoes

I love the look of these boots. I like the "engineering" look - probably because I am an IT geek. So, these were visually appealing (and I have the perforated boots they selll, which are awesome), but they are a bit stiff, so I have to (and I work from home) roam around the house with them on (with my sweatpants, which is an amazing look - hahaha) and get them worn in. There are some cardboard-ey areas on the heels that I am not thrilled with, but they are there to maintain the structural integrity. Overall, these boots are good. Are they Borns, like, from the 90s? No. But then again Borns suck now too. :-/ Peace and happy feet. :-*

These shoes are very neat and have the inclination to be narrow. If you have wide feet, they maybe uncomfortable. I cannot say definitively that they are uncomfortable because I have narrow feet and I love how they fit me. What I can say definitively is that they are IMPECCABLY made; they fit AS EXPECTED - I wear an 8. I read the reviews and suggestions and purchased a size 8.5 and that was too big, so I wear those with a thicker sock and an inner sole. Then I purchased a navy in a size 8. I use these shoes on days when I am commuting and need to do a lot of walking. I feel as though I am walking on a cloud. They are INCREDIBLY COMFORTABLE. I have read some reviews and wondered if I was wearing the same shoes... and that is why I said you have to be true to yourself. I love these shoes

I really like the look and fit of these oxfords. I knocked off a star because the shoes have a weird kerosene smell which I think is resultant of the shoe dye.

I am extremely satisfied with these shoes. They were delivered on time. The fit was exact. They didn't need any time to break in. They are one of the most comfortable pair of shoes that I have ever purchased. I have always been shy to buy a pair of shoes on line without trying them on first. I do not have a problem ordering tennis shoes on line but leather shoes I do because normally they need broken in first anyway. I also do not like to give my opinion on a product such as this without breaking them in first. However, these shoes were perfect from day one. The packaging was top of the line with very nice shoe bags and sturdy box. I could not find one flaw in the leather. The heel height was perfect. There are little dimples on the insoles of the shoes that sort of massage the foot when I walk. The laces are very well made. The type of material keeps the laces from becoming untied while I walk. I always liked a cowboy boot type of point on my shoe because I think they look classy with jeans or dress pants. I will definitely purchase another pair of shoes or boots with this company again. You can tell by the packaging, the feel of the leather and craftsmanship that these are a quality product made with pride. Buy the shoes you will love them as I do.

Overall it looks nice on me but a little tight and pointy.
