I have very narrow feet A, AAA which makes it hard to find loafers that fit. I ordered the Allen-Edmonds Walden loafers and they fit just fine. I liked them so much that a week later I ordered a second pair in a different color.

Comfortable but take a long time to break in. Slightly tight in front of shoe for the toes on top. I'm hoping they will break in. Well made shoe, but expected more comfort for the price.

Walden - Great craftsmanship. Burgundy color was so dark it was almost black, but that's probably best as shoes start to break in and lighten up.

Quality speaks for itself - I bought the black polished calf Walden. The first thing I noticed was the slightly snug fit in my regular size. Just right to break it in properly. This shoe reeks of quality. The one piece leather lined insole is a touch-of-class. If I had to have only one pair of shoes, these would be it...Plus, Zappos is the greatest, as usual.

Comfy - My feet got a bit larger as I grew older. It's not easy to find an attractive shoe in a larger size that is truly comfortable. I love this shoe and I love Zappos... great service.

Men’s shoes, too - The Walden is a classic. Zappos service is 5 Stars, too.

Very comfortable fit and very good looks - We have always had to buy Allen-Edmonds or another brand because of our narrow width. These Allen-Edmonds fit very well right out of the box and are very comfortable. As other styles become available we will look at this brand very closely.

Five Stars of "Class"! I buy all of my husband's shoes & clothes and Allen Edmonds shoes cost a lot to be sure. My husband has these Classic American penny loafers in both burgundy & black; the look and workmanship is awesome, and my husband tells me they are ALWAYS comfortable and easy to fit straight out of the box. They will wear 10 times longer than cheaper penny loafers too, making them well worth the price! Plus, like most Allen Edmonds styles, they are "made in America" (that keeps a lot of jobs in this country)! We only wish Zappos would carry more of the Allen Edmonds line...

Quest for Narrow Sizes - I have a hard time locating narrow width (11-1/2 A) quality shoes or any A width mens shoes. These arrived promptly and fit.

Allen Edmonds is Awesome - These shoes are awesome. They arrived and instantly felt great when put on my feet. Virtually no break in period - they were comfortable instantly. A super shoe.

This shoe is a classic dress loafer especially if you're in need of a burgundy shoe. The shoe box was shrink wrapped! I love buying shoes that were never tried on or even touched by a customer. I'm very impressed with Zappos.

WALDEN SHOE NOT COMFORTABLE - My husband could not get his foot into this shoe...his arch would not slide under the top. They seemed much narrower than usual 3EEEs. Very stiff.

Too wide - The AAA actually had a heel width of a wide shoe.

I have a very narrow foot. The width of this shoe feels like an AA even though it is listed as an AAA. I still like the shoe and can wear it with an inner sole.

Very happy customer. My first purchase from Zappos did not disappoint. The experience was better than expected. Absolutely outstanding customer support, from the beginning of the transaction to the end. My first purchase involved a bit of everything, including price matching, overnight shipping, and returns. Everything that Zappos advertises, they do, and more! I am now a Zappos customer. Oh yeah, the Allen-Edmonds Walden feels great.

Zappos service is absolutely the best - Shoes were of the quality I have come to expect from A-E. Penny loafers do take a little time to break in. Zappos free shipping both ways is outstanding!
