The XTI makes very good shoes at very good prices and these are no exception. Comfortable, quality, good fit, and beautiful. However, be careful: in reality, the shade leaves a feeling of being a click more khaki than it appears in the photos, similarly, the yellow lace is a click different. This difference limited the combinations I had in mind that I could make. I changed the laces to a set of dark gray and the shoe balanced out somewhat.
