A good looking, retro inspired loafer that looks great on the foot. The front of the shoe is slightly tapered which gives it a more modern look. The leather is soft and comfy, and if Frye keeps making this shoe I will buy it in more colors. For reference, I wear a 10M, but 99.9 per cent of the time I wear a 9.5 in Frye. If you plan to wear this shoe with a heavier sock, I recommed ordering your regular size, otherwise order down one half size.

Just as the first reviewer said, if you plan to wear socks with these shoes, order a half size up. I am an 8.5 in all of my boots, including socks. I ordered them in 8.5 and they are too tight. Returning for a size 9 and they are on backorder.

These are super cute and the leather is very soft, but they run a little large. I wear a 7.5 in Frye boots. If you plan to wear these shoes with medium weight socks then you should order your regular size, but go down a half size if you are hoping to wear them without socks or with thinner socks.

These shoes are very comfy, but run a bit large and wide. I ordered an 8 and it is a little loose on my foot, but should be great with heavy winter socks. The blue color is very saturated and adds a wonderful infusion of color to any outfit.

I have not bought a pair of loafers for a long time. I decided to try these Fryes and I couldn't be more pleased. They look terrific with jeans, and are very comfortable. I highly recommend this shoe.

Very cute loafer. I just received the Emerald color in size 11. Because I own a few pairs of Frye boots that can be somewhat of a challenge to break in, I was skeptical. Alas, this loafer was not only cute as can be, but soft and comfortable right out the box. So if you like loafers and are looking for something that will stand out and be comfortable, this is the shoe for you!

The soles are stiff and slippery for walking. The size is right with heavy socks. I'm disappointed with the slip slide effect.

I first bought these shoes and returned them because I thought they cost too much. After months of searching for something less expensive, I realized they would be worth the money. Reordered them, and am now completely happy with my purchase. The leather is buttery soft and requires no breaking-in. Worth every dime!

These are very cute and comfortable, but boy are they slippery! Absolutely no traction on the bottom. Make sure to by some type of non-slip shoe pads for the soles of the shoes.

Ordered the blue. Quality is top notch, as expected. However, the shoes just looked too clunky for my size 10 feet. I had to return them based purely on looks...probably cuter on smaller feet.

I had been looking for a loafer that was stylish and timeless, I found these and fell in love. I usually wear an 8, but the shoe was out of stock in the black. After reading the reviews I thought I'd go ahead and try the 7.5. They fit well, just some slight rubbing at the heel. After the minor breaking-in period, they are molded to my feet. Love them! Leather is very soft and the craftsmanship is what one would expect from Frye.

These are so comfortable and stylish, a bit boyish paired with skinny jeans is super cute!

Nice but runs a bit Large. I'm a 10 but this shoe slips as I walk which is going to cause blisters, but I'm afraid 9.5 would be too tight. I might try a smaller size.

I wore Frye boots in the '70s in Manhattan, and they were the greatest. This loafer is made the same way -- sturdy, well crafted, solid, and more comfortable than the boots were. Good looking. If you're the loafer type or you remember Frye boots, you'll love these. They look indestructible to me, just like the boots were.

Nicest pair of loafers I've ever owned. Felt good from day one. Well made, classic styling with a modern twist.

Love at first sight. These loafers are beautifully made, good quality leather and a great style. But I took heed of one of the reviewers wrote about them being slippery, especially when I almost slid down my carpeted indoor stairs. The soles are made of leather (not the usual rubber) and there is no traction. Afraid of one day not paying attention and taking another slid or fall, I returned them. Sad, because they were comfortable right out of the box and was just what I was looking for. Also if you need arch support, there isn't much in these shoes. The heel is 1/2 inch and this shoe is very flat.

I got this loafer in the blue color. I couldn't be happier! I get compliments all the time. It's colorful enough to be playful, but the style is still classic. The leather was a bit stiff at first but it relaxed and started forming to my foot with only 2 wears. So well-made, with that true Frye quality. I got my normal 6.5 and it fit perfectly.

This is an adorable shoe, and pretty comfortable, although I haven't yet fully "broken it in." Meaning: I can wear it for a full day of work and take a short walk in it, but a long walk results in a bit of rubbing on my heels and toes. Feel pretty sure these will soften up, and I probably expect too much of them (they're not hiking boots). But they are really cute and comfortable, as long as you don't expect to walk several miles in them right away.
