I've been looking around for a nice inexpensive pair of oxfords and these stood out. I was hoping the sole was red and they actually are instead of the hot pink they might look depending on your computer resolution. Comfortable and will get you a little attention. see less

Fits true to size. Red sole is very bright so do not wear if you want to be invisible. Big issue is this shoe does not breathe. My feet get very hot sitting at my office desk. Not a great summer shoe but looks like one. see less

To me, the biggest draw of these shoes was the pink sole. Which means I was really disappointed when I received them and the soles were actually red. I guess they're still okay, but the picture looked so hot pink that it never even occurred to me that they'd be red. It was misleading to the point that I'm considering returning them, because that's a big change. If you want red, though, they should be fine for you. see less

The colour is more like an olive green than gray. Fits true to size. Only issue is this show does not breathe. My feet get very hot sitting at my office desk. It's get's worse when you go outside. see less

I recently purchased these shoes in black and brown -- Target was promoting a buy 1, get 1 half off sale. I was very skeptical about purchasing shoes online but I made a great decision with getting these. After wearing both pair for a week I have found them to be better than I could have anticipated. The shoes come with built-in cushiony insoles that are very nice looking and the materials used are amazing. The price is outstanding for the quality and comfort they provide. I have also found that no one in my office can tell that they are the same shoes just in different colors and they work with everything in my professional wardrobe. My only comments are to order 1 size larger then you would in an athletic shoe because they do run a little narrow and I wish they offered them in a boot! The black are great but the brown are my preference. see less

Normally, I love everything I purchase from Target, however, these shoes were not up to par. I had them for only a month and they literally started falling apart. Now, 2 months later, they are in such bad shape the sole actually separated from the rest of the shoe. I have to buy new shoes after 2 months because I can't even wear the shoes in the rain without getting my socks wet. I stand all day at my job so maybe that was the problem, who knows. Love Target, but not a fan of these shoes. see less

They are shoes, and I understand that, but after the first time I wore these shoes they smelled like wet cardboard. None of my other shoes smell like that, and I could not figure it out. After a few days it got worse. After a month I could not wear them anymore. The smell was terrible, the leather separated from the rubber sole, and the pad where you put your foot started to shred. I found out it was cardboard, or a paper product like it, padding these shoes. How is that supposed to dry properly without damage? Basically I paid [$$$] for a shoe that I could only wear a month. Where is the value in that? see less

I was looking for a nice pair of shoes but did not have the cash for the higher end name brand shoes. The uppers are leather and the insole has a nice gel heel cushion. The soles of the shoe are solid and well attached to the uppers. Laces are sturdy and are the correct length. I work in a automotive shop as a sales and service advisor and I frequent the shop often. I do a lot of walking out in the parking lot. 50 percent of my day is spent there. So a very comfortable , good looking shoe is a requirement. The Merona Trent shoes have held up extremely well for the last 4 months.The shoe's soles barely show any wear. No cracking or separation from the uppers. I polish the uppers once a week and hold the shine better than when the shoes came out of the box. They remain comfortable and get compliments from coworkers. I will be buying these shoes again. I wish they made them in brown. Best shoe for the cash. see less

I am replacing the Merona's I've worn since before September 2008 because the soles finally cracked and water's getting in from our recent snow. However, I wish I didn't have to. The rest of the shoe is like new. I've taken good care of them because I have always loved the way they looked. Because the price has dropped since I bought them in 2008, buying a new pair is about half the price of getting them re-soled/heeled. Otherwise, I would have happily laid out the green to keep them since the rest of the shoe still looks great. They have been extremely comfortable. Full disclosure regarding comfort,[...] I'll update here if there has been any decline in quality since my original purchase, but I would be surprised. At least, the catalogue photo is identical to my shoes. I'm glad they haven't touched the classic styling. see less

I bought a pair of these maybe about 3 years ago and currently am still wearing them. The soles on both shoes are cracked, and water does get in when I walk in the rain - so I will agree with other reviewers that the soles seem to be the weak point on these shoes. I have worn my pair practically every day for the last few years - I work in an office so I need professional looking shoes 5 days a week - and the soles have JUST NOW cracked within the last 2 months. I can't imagine what the other reviewers were doing with their shoes, but if you want a good looking shoe that is comfortable and are working in an office or similar job, these shoes are pretty good. [$$] for about 3 years of use is not bad in my book. see less
