Customer Reviews Florsheim Berkley Penny Loafers

This pair was manufactured in Vietnam vice Pakistan. The profile is a little longer and the fit is less than expected. I've purchased several pairs over the years and expect this to be my last unless your company investigates and corrects the differences.

Finish seems to be wearing quickly. Very comfortable though.

Ran very small had to return

This shoe is made from skimpier materials and does not anywhere match the previous generation Florsheim loafers I've owned.

I have worn Florsheim shoes for over 30 years and my size has been 71/2 wide for all of those years. The new shoes I received were way too big! I returned them today. However, Sonia in customer service saved the day for my disappointment. She explained how to determine if the shoes were a half size or a full size off and also emailed me a UPS shipping slip. I will be happy to write a new review once I receive and try out the new Dailey shoes. I cannot for my life figure out how the sizing would be so far off - completely un-wearable as is.

Fits small!

Hi, I have had this shoe for just over 7 weeks now. Oversall nice looking but same can not be said for comfort and material. My main gripe is the leather sole which i find very thin. I work in NY city and find with the sole the dampness from sidewalk gets through to the socks within few minutes (no holes in shoe). So this is not simply a rain issue but even if there is no rain but the sidewalk is slightly damp then does not take long for it to seep through. Given its now 6+ weeks old i do not think i can return but this loafer is not very useful for daily use. Occasional lounge party where there is carpeted floor is what its good for but side walks i would recommend getting something else BTW - this is not a Zappos issue, which i am a fan, its just a poor quality sole Florsheim are using. I should have gone with the alternatives but decided to try .. lesson learnt to avoid Florsheim thanks

Much too small and tight. Leather was thin.

Stitching fell apart after 6 or so months. Looked great when I first wore it, then down hill. Good shoe if you don't wear it much.

Used for casual wear.

This shoe is one of my favorite timeless styles. The main difference I see is in the feel of the leather on this new show versus several pairs I've owned for years. The leather is now very soft and doesn't have the same feeling of durability that I find in the older ones. I believe the country of manufacture has changed, so it is possible that may have something to do with it. One of the things I LOVED about the older ones is the stiff leather, durability,and the shape retention. It is yet to be seen how these will hold up, but from experience I am quite confident they will not hold up as well as the original versions.

Eh...

I wear these shoes for work. I like the looks and style, however, quality has diminished over time, sizing is not true to scale, the soles wear quickly and in the last two pair, the soles separated from the shoe not long after I bought them. I may have to find another alternative. Thanks.

It looks great and not too formal that you can easily wear it with chinos and even shorts. You will get compliments on the shoe and give you instant upgrade in casual wear. However, the workmanship is lacking and details suffer. In close examination, you can see there are glued parts and those are not glued evenly with rough edges. Inside the shoes, the thin inner lining(?) came lose on my first wear (3 hrs). There are other miscues in detail so make sure not to look too closely. I doubt this shoe will survive thru more than one season of wear.

Good all around shoe. I use it for work and casual. The support is not what I expected, and it does not hold a very good shine. Taking all that into consideration it is still a good shoe for the price. I wish they made the brown in a narrow width.

With a 3E width, I keep returning to Florsheim, and this is a style I have been re-purchasing for years. As time goes on, I am noticing that the soles are wearing out entirely too quickly. The bulk of my day is spent at a desk, in a CUBICLE on CARPET!! How is it possible that the soles could wear out so quickly? Please Florsheim, don't become a company that "used to be so good", but started cutting corners.

My left foot is my shortest and the lest of this pair is still 1/2 size too small for me. The right one is OK and that is the foot that has grown and is bothering my, so I'm keeping them, but wish I was happier!

I have had Florsheim Berkeley penny loafers the same size for the past 20 years. They have always been comfortable from the moment I've tried them on. Now, the same size is too tight, painfully so. I will return them and try a size larger.

I struggled with the Star's. These are high quality moccasin and the perfect color (brown)is the reason I am keeping them. Having a little problem with the tongue rolling up on the left shoe I think caused by the thin soft leather these shoes are made of. They fit my need better than any other shoe I could have ordered.

I tried these on but sent these back because they could not compare in comfort to the Florsheim Imperials.I wish they still made these penny loafers with the Florsheim Imperial details and inners.
