It suits casual and smart-casual wear, pairing with jeans, chinos, or a suit, though reviewers note a break-in period for the stiff leather and recommend sizing down for narrow feet. The two-eyelet lacing and thick rubber outsole provide a sturdy build, but the shoe is not recommended for all-day walking over 10,000 steps.","url":"https://www.simons.ca/en/men-footwear/dress/padror-leather-derby-shoes-men--16098-25100?colourId=0","brand":"Kleman","condition":"new","product_category":"men footwear >

Compared to a Paraboot Michael, the fit is similar in that both are snug, but the Padror is generally a bit narrower.
