After ordering multiple pairs of loafers - from Vionic, SAS - these were the ones I kept. Nice looking, sturdy, super comfortable, true to size, enough room in the toebox, no slippage in the heel.

Review for Zappos VIP Points (What's this?)
Worn around my home for several hours. Miserable - too tight over all. Will never be able to use orthotics in them. They have no arch support. Length is good and toe box is roomy. If I order a longer length I fear they'd be clumsy causing tripping. To tight over all.

Review for Zappos VIP Points (What's this?)
I have planters fasciitis and high arches, finding shoes with an arch high enough to support my foot is a challenge. This brand was mentioned as being a competitor for Vionic so decided to give them a try. The shoe is definitely well made with nice leather. The lug sole is stable. I wouldn’t say they have any significant arch support though and the insole doesn’t come out so adding a custom insole is a tight fit.

These are comfortable and can be casual or a little dressy depending what you pair them with. I struggle with plantar fasciitis and am on my feet quite a bit, and these didn’t make my feet hurt.
