Customer Reviews Florsheim Berkley Penny Loafers

The shoes are very tight and stiff and will need some uncomfortable wear to break them in. As a result....I have not worn them.

I bought two of the Berkley model shoes. The brown, natural looking leather, looks good, but it's tight. The black doesn't fit any better is so high gloss it looks like patent leather. I'm keeping the brown and figure it will stretch a bit with use; the black I'm saving to use with a tux or formal event with a suit.

The shoe appeared to be well made however the triple E width was not true to size. it was much narrower than expected. I had to return them as the fit was more like a normal D width and I could not get them on.

I wear 10D normally and couldn't even get my foot in the shoe. Return was easy. I re-ordered 3E width hoping they fit since I love this style.

I ordered two pairs of 12aaa, and they are to small like they are miss marked, I have several pairs of shoes like this all of them fit perfect

The color is brown chocolate not burgundy

Just received 2nd pair of beautiful "beefroll" burgundy loafers today. Sadly, my feet are old and the shoes didn't fit again.

Quality footwear is a long term investment;particularly classically styled models such as the Berkley. Having taken delivery on a pair of Berkley loafers only a few weeks ago it is difficult to render a relevant review. Time and long term wear "will tell".

We bought this shoe a half length longer than usaul since the extra wide was not available. Bought wide, but it is too narrow to slip my foot inside. I will have to return this pair and wait til an extra wide in my proper length is available.

This was marked as 3E but not wide enough for my husband. Love the look but you need to focus on width as they didn't even look wide. Sad that I cannot find a wide shoe

In my opinion and experience these are extremely narrow. Bought two sizes D and E and both would not go on my foot. Exchanging for a half size up and 3E. But shoes do look beautiful. Classic. Hoping the exchange size fits!

Better get the next wider and next shorter if you want them to fit like your old pair.

Nice shoe. Extremely stiff after a week still breaking them in The soles have already lost a lot of their brown color. Which is disappointing not sure I would buy them again at this price point

Hard leather

The color is darker than the photo. The leather looks like imitation leather. They are fairly comfortable. They don't sound good on hard floors. Over all I believe it was a better shoe in the 1960 and 1970s rather than today. I will work with the finish to try to lighten it up in color, I also noticed the highlighting on the shoe is not well defined , the black highlighting can hardly be seen. Just the color it self seems to be poor. It use to be a medium maroon color, now it looks like a brown color. It just doesn't project quality like it use to. It use to be in a class of its own. Today it looks like an average attempt to copy a classic shoe. That's what I see. I was disappointed when I opened the box. This shoe, at one point was like the best shoe on the planet. The color was what made it such a classic. I do not intend to be hurtful or mean with this review, I hope it is useful, or at least read by your quality team. I appreciate the time and will wear this pair of shoes , perhaps they will cure with time, like a fine wine. Sincerely, CF SEWELL

Had to return the shoe, too tight. Nothing wrong with the shoe, it just didn't t work for me. But the ordering process did not go smoothly. No confirmation email, had to call twice to check on status. Inconvenient.

The shoes appear to be narrow. I have a need for 3e width and there was no stamp on the inside to indicate the size or width. They are tight now. hopefully they will stretch

Narrow width was not narrow enough. Thank you.

The leather is stiffer than I like. The shoes were too tight for me. I returned them and ordered the Riva Comfortech shoes instead.
