Ingenuity goes a long way toward compensating for lack of capital, an axiom Kenneth Cole proved back in the early 1980s when he launched his fledgling shoe store out of a borrowed truck parked along a fashionable Midtown Manhattan street. Gaining a parking permit required a clever ruse. Cole added the word "Productions" to his company name, reinvented himself as a film director, hired models as "actors," and got a license to shoot a film appropriately titled The Birth of a Shoe Store. Kenneth Cole Productions, Inc. (the tongue-in-cheek name remains to this day) may not have produced much actual film that day, but it did sell an impressive number of shoes. Today, Kenneth Cole Reaction blends fabulous fashion with functionality, creating urban-inspired footwear for work or play.

Sharp shoes!
First day wearing, and already lots of compliments. Order a half size smaller than usual though...KC shoes run a bit big. A little stiff at first, but feeling great now.

I love the style but was very disappointed that they were way too small. I normally wear size 12 in Kenneth Coles but these fit like they were a full size too small. They don't make a 12.5 and I didn't want to go through the trouble of trying a 13 and having to return it.

These run extremely narrow. My fiancé loved the style but there was no way he could keep these.

Great shoe, one small problem
!!! For those that work on the other side of a metal detector, this shoe has a steel shank in it that will set them off !!!I ordered this shoe for everyday work. The shoe looks great, and feels great. It does run a little on the small side I found for width. If you're on the line between normal and wide widths this might feel pretty tight. As far as shoe size goes it's what I expected. The quality appears to be pretty good but I haven't worn it a lot.If I wouldn't have to take my shoes off every time to go through the metal detectors I'd be completely happy with these shoes. I really wish it would have mentioned the steel shank in the product description.

Excellent shoe. Great quality and was delivered on time
Excellent shoe. Great quality and was delivered on time. I did have to purchase one size larger after reading the reviews before I purchased. Otherwise, the overall experience was great!

Quailty at an amazing price.
The shoes look professional and have a good feel to the foot. They are of the quality that you'd expect from Kenneth Cole and at a price that only Amazon can offer.The only issue that I have noticed with these shoes is that they are narrower than I expected them to be but otherwise are comfortable to wear. The top is made from a nice pliable material which seems to prevent creases in the leather.
