Customer Reviews Florsheim Berkley Penny Loafers

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.

I have a long narrow foot. Typically, I wear size 13 B but the Florsheim Penny Loafers are sized too wide for my feet. I was also disappointed in the weight and quality of the leather. Not a heavy leather I was expecting! The process for requesting and receiving a label for returning the product was quick and easy. Fill out the online form, print the label, attach to the box, and drop off at UPS store. The refund has not yet been processed so I can't comment as to Florsheim's response time.

casual, to expensive for the quality received.

I've had a bunch of these over the years and generally like the style and comfort. However, the pair I bought about a year ago just had the heel fall off on one shoe, making them unwearable. This is even though the shoes are worn in an office setting without much real wear and tear. Prior versions of this shoe lasted much longer with no problems like this. So this is just a non-typical defective pair, or the quality of the shoe construction has taken a big dive. Don't know which.

I returned these shoes, I didn't find them to fit true.

This is my first purchase of this particular shoe... I have not worn it yet, therefore I cannot provide the proper feedback. However, if its anything like the other shoes and boots I've purchased, I know I'll be satisfied. I purchased to shoe to use as an everyday shoe, that is when I wear shoes.

I have been wearing this same shoe from Florsheim for 17 years. It is my evereyday work shoe. The shoe is very comfortable to wear. The only problem I have with the shoe is - the threads that attatch the front soul to the upper shoe wear out and the soul area comes loose from the upper. The last pair I purchased - this occured 3 months after purchasing the shoes but most of the time I get between 9 months to year to a pair. To track this - I date the inside of the shoes with a permnant marker. I have found that the time to this failure varys with the retailer. Purchases through JC_ are the shortist lived. I used to have a local shoesmith reattatch the for me for $25.00 per pair but he retired and the new guy wants $80.00 per pair to repair so I keep buying new. This problem is a unfortunate defect. I have brought this to Florshiems attention before. It is still a problem. One question you would have to ask yopurself is why am I still buying this shoe? The answer is I am 64 years old and a little stuck in my ways. The shoe is something I am very comfortable in. It is part of my work " uniform". I am a small business owner. My clients expect to see me every day in my khakies , blue button down oxford shirt, and of course- my Florshiem Berkly burgandy penny loafers. The combination has been a winner for my business for 17 years. You dont mess with success.

Purchased this slipon to wear traveling thru the airport. A little stiff to break in and some pressure on the big toe from rubbing the seam. Great look.

The shoe is a darker brown color than appeared online. I almost returned it due to the color, but decided it was not worth the trouble. I would rate it 2.5 out of 5.

I like the classic design of this shoe but the fit was tighter than what I expected. Might have to wear it more often to break it in.

Shipping Time was great deal was super. Now a Review of the shoes. Bought 2 pr. Left foot on both was too tight. I have bought Florsheim's for over 45 years this is the first time I have had to bring them to a Cobbler to get the lefts stretched($16.00 cost plus 2 trips to the Cobbler 23 miles each way) I am not the type person that returns things hopefully they will be fine when I pick them up next week. No my left foot has not widened recently bought 2 pairs of Timberlands and low and behold both fit fine left & right feet! My guess is the shoes are being outsourced and quality is not what it used to be.

THE SHOE DOES NOT FIT PROPERLY, IT IS TOO WIDE -I REALLY NEED AN "A" WIDTH, BUT IT SEEMS YOU DON'T MAKE A TRUE NARROW WIDTH SHOE. HAVING BOUGHT MANY PAIRS OF FLORSHEIM SHOES OVER 60+YEARS, (THAT DID FIT VERY WELL!) IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING THAT YOUR SHOE COMPANY HAS ABANDONED A LARGE SEGMENT OF THE MARKET. WHERE DO MEN GO NOW FOR A WELL BUILT SHOE AT A REASONABLE COST? (NOT INEXPENSIVE, JUST REASONABLE, MAYBE UNDER $200.00 ? OR IN THAT RANGE?) AGAIN VERY DISAPPOINTED !

Nice looking loafer. However I thought my standard size 10.5D was very tight in width. Returned for E width

More dark than the picture in brown color and a little narrow to be considered as normal. Nevertheless, great shoes.
