I compared Mona Flying and Mikcon 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. Felt much more feminine and dainty than the Mikcon, or the Mona Flying Brown 3.Photo 10: Comparing the two-toned shoes. From L to R:1. Mikcon Brown-Blue2. 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!

Elegant and Classy
My shoes arrived in 2 days without expedited shipping. They arrived in an elegant box with each shoe bagged separately in a cloth-like bag. The soles seem a bit soft so we will see how they wear, but as dress shoes, for business, they will be a great addition to my wardrobe. They seem to run narrow as I have a narrow foot and they fit just right for me, which is not typical.I ordered 1/2 size larger than I usually wear because they did not have an 8, and they really don't feel that much too big.

Fashionable with comfort and quality
I purchased the tan oxford first then ordered second pair in black. Received lots of complements at office. I wear them with jeans, slacks or capris and looks great. Very pleased with quality and comfort. The leather stretched moderately to my feet.

Luscious Red for statement piece
Shoes đ fit comfortably at half size up without being too big. I can wear with or without socks and still have them fit well. They likely wouldâve been tight without the 1/2 size up. These are more impressive in person in regards to richness of color (red), leather quality, packaging, and the foot bed which has a bumpy/ripply cushionâsuper comfy! These will likely be my new favorite.

Flawed workmanship right in front of shoe
The ahowa ia beautifully made. I ordered three Mona's from different Amazon sellers. This one unfortunately sells a defective model. See the half circle of leather right in the middle in the front, where the platform holding the laces meets the fromt of the shoe? Right there. That is supposed to be about a third its size. It' is not supposed to be a strange half circle of leather sticking out of the middle of the shoe. If you don't care at all, fine, but I'm returning this pair. Apart from this glitch, the shoe is beautifully stained and finsished.

Absolutely Beautiful Shoes
These are some absolutely beautiful shoes. I was skeptical about purchasing shoes from Amazon, but I couldnât be more pleased. I did order a 1/2 size larger due to feedback from other reviews... and Iâm glad I did. That was the best advice otherwise I couldnât have gotten them on my feet. My shoes were my Christmas gift to me & theyâre my best gift this year. đđ

Surprisingly comfortable given the narrow style
I have never had this brand of shoe before (tend to like Clarks for work), but based my purchase on the reviews and the styling. I am not disappointed. They were difficult to get on and I was concerned they were too small (I bought the same size I wear in Clarks), but they fit like a glove (I do have narrow feet though). I wore them to work for a full day and they were quite comfortable. I also got complimented on them, whereas no one ever compliments my Clarks (I wear them for comfort). I will likely buy more of this brand and style. I'd love to see them in some versions of a dark brown style.
