I love the way these look. They are a beautiful shoe, but they make my feet bleed. After ordering and returning 2 other sizes (I'm a 10 but had to get 9.5) and wearing them as much as possible, I have still not broken them in. The leather is stiff and I have tried everything. I have resorted to carrying another pair of shoes with me to change into. I have normal sized feet, not too wide. I have started putting thick tape on the back of my heels while I wear them. If anyone can tell me how to break in these shoes, please tell me. I love them and don't want to give up.

A truly classic
loafer. I wore my last pair until the soles literally fell off. Like any all-leather shoe, this one is stiff and will require diligent breaking-in; but, once broken, it will fit like a glove. I've marked these 5 stars for comfort, but keep in mind I have a narrow foot. These are quite narrow - almost uncomfortably so. But, since I've been through the break-in process before, I'm confident that they'll be perfect for my foot, shortly. If you've a regular-width foot (or wider), I'd suggest going with the men's version.

Zappos is THE BEST! Whatever my shoe needs they fill it promptly with a smile. This shoe is exactly what I wore in H.S. in the late 50's and has stayed in style ever since. You can't go wrong wrong with a Weejun,
pencil skirt, cute top and neat-o
jacket even if you're 71 years old! I love looking fun and TRY my hardest! Zappos helps!!!!! I ordered these the first time without reading the the note about ordering a 1/2 size smaller- need to order down as they suggest. The burgundy are like the old cordovan. Good-o!

What's not to love about classic cordovan Weejuns?! The style is a classic, and the burgundy leather is absolutely gorgeous. I'm not sure what weird sizing world
Bass is living in though. I'm a true 7.5, but heeding the advice of the other reviewers, bought the 7 and the shoes fit perfectly in length. The width on the other hand - holy moly. I don't usually have a problem with medium widths, but I could barely get my bare foot in when I first tried them on! Keep in mind, however, that they do stretch in time, and I helped them along by wearing two pairs of slightly damp
socks for a few hours and by using the hairdryer stretching method. It worked! Now they're snug, but comfortable. I've only worn them outside once and the leather is still extremely stiff and would definitely cut up my heel if I tried to go barefoot in them now -
socks are a necessity.

I love these shoes. I took the reviewers' advice and ordered a 1/2 size down and it's still slightly big, but I don't find the shoe uncomfortable at all! It is a beautiful classic shoe and for me was comfortable out of the box. True, I have a narrow foot.

Exactly what I wanted - a cute
loafer with a low heel. I ordered my normal size, but returned for a 1/2 size smaller. Much better fit. Thanks Zappos for your speedy delivery and great support staff!

Not to reiterate what everyone has said, but PLEASE do yourself a favor and break these in extensively before you try to wear them. I bought them for a job interview, and even after some wear around the house they gave me the gnarliest blisters I have ever had in my life. They looked sharp, but ouch! Also, I bought the Cassell model at the same time and these look much less casual, so they were better for what I needed.

Great classic shoe. I loved them in college and love them again.
They are a little tight in the toe box, but are fine after a few wearings. I would order your regular size.

Fabulous
loafers. Whenever I wear them, I get compliments. I am just about ready to order another pair. The width is perfect, and the size is just a bit too large, so for an 8, order 7 1/2. The shoes come quickly. Couldn't be happier.

Too much room -
I usually wear 10 and never waiver but even the 9.5 in these were too long and wide. I used to wear
bass tie shoes a lot many years ago. No way to adjust this style. I've never worn penny
loafers. Pretty color.
