Customer Reviews Florsheim Berkley Penny Loafers

I'm A Dancer. These shoes are ok except that the soles and heels protrude around the edges and sometimes cause me to stumble when dancing. I have purchased Florsheims before and they were not protruding. I may end up having them trimmed at the shoe shop. It seems as though the factory put the wrong parts together. The heel protrudes at least 1/4 inch behind the back of the shoe.

Good looking shoe - Good looking shoe, true to size advertised but quite uncomfortable. Doesn't seem to be any padding, etc. Shipping was at warp speed, hence, I will purchase again from Zappos. Thanks.

Good value - I have a similar pair that is 11 years old and still going. Leather sole lasts forever. Unfortunately they don't have my EE width.

Finish began peeling off immediately! I got a pair of these just recently and they look great, both style and finish, but the glossy coating began peeling off from above the toe region of the shoe within the first day of ownership (right where the shoe bends inward). I really like the style of these shoes, especially the split in the rear of the shoe, but I am a bit disappointed in the quality of materials Florsheim used on this model... maybe I just got a lemon, I really don't know for sure.

Florsheim Berkley Penny Loafers - Shoes appear to be of good quality. Have only tried them on so far and the fit was very good. I have a narrow foot(B) so it is very hard, if not impossible, find this width at retailers. They were a Christmas present so I am looking forward to wearing them more very soon.

Nice shoe...great price - First order arrived too large. My fault, I ordered 1/2 size larger because most shoes are too tight. This was not true with these shoes. I am truly amazed at the service I received in exchanging for proper size. Got the right ones before I even sent the first ones back. No questions and just a pleasant experience on the phone. Got the right shoes and they fit just fine.

Nice shoe - These shoes are fine in the classic penny loafer style. My pair, a size 8.5EEE, fit nicely in the width (always an issue if you have bunions like me), but they wear a bit on the large size for 8.5. Quality is fine though and Zappos service, as always, was outstanding.

Break-in required - Very good looking shoe. I had to order three different sizes before I got the right one. I actually ended up wearing one size smaller than 'usual'. Several weeks of break-in were required. But now they are just fine. Had I gone with my usual size I'd have been swimming in them.

Satisfied customer - The shoe has a great traditional look and is well made. It fits a bit loose in the heel and slides just a bit, but overall comfort is good.

A Tried and True - This is a shoe my husband has been wearing for years. We could not find this shoe in Charleston SC and he was shopping from Lenox Mall in Atlanta. I was so please to find this at Zappos for him. I purchased two pair. Believe me that will last him for quite a while.

Penny Loafers - The service was excellent! I really liked being able to look at the shoe from all different views. I got them the next day without a hitch!

Good - I chose a shoe that could be used for work and for social occasions. I did not want to spend a lot of money. I'm happy with my choice.

Good shoe - Was very please with the purchase. Somewhat small to size, nice lookin, and built like a battleship.

Stiff - Shoe is a little too stiff. Will require a longer "break in" period than I anticipated. With the narrow foot I have, it makes it difficult to keep my heels in the shoes while I'm walking. Would have preferred a softer soul.

Great Value! I've purchased lots of penny loafers in the past and usually paid far more than these and they weren't any better or fit any better. I liked them so much I bought several more pairs. I'm a long time Zappos customer and aside from reviewing these shoes I can’t say enough good things about Zappos . . . they're my shoe store.

Great shoe for the price. I purchased 15EEE and am grateful that Florsheim makes such a good shoe in this size and width. The shoe is comfortable, true to size and looks great. I just wish it were a little less expensive.

Not perfect, but the best I've found - Unlike the Rockport’s I tried, these were comfortable right out of the box, and they look great. Their fatal flaw is the leather soles. I almost slid down the stairs 5 minutes after putting them on. Even after roughening them on concrete and wearing them for 2 weeks they are still quite slick, and I have had several other slips. I much prefer rubber soles, but none that I tried with rubber soles had a fit or look that I was happy with.

My New Loafers - I received them in 3 days and they were exactly what I expected. A very fast delivery and the price was reasonable.

Good Buy - Stores in south Florida don't carry narrow sizes, so Zappos is a life-saver. This is a very good shoe and the price is right. Normally, I like to try on shoes before I buy. This fit perfectly. It's a little stiff to start with, but that will work out in time.
