The sizing is different from other Florsheim shoes I have purchased. A big disappointment since I buy Florsheim largely for the standardization in the sizing. The shoes are smaller than my other purchases made at the same time. The shoes are fine otherwise.

Loved the shoes initially, and they look GREAT, but the construction was faulty AGAIN, the glue separates on the heel with sole and creates a clicking sound when you walk. Sorry this 2nd pair wasn't any better than the first pair I had to return, too!

It's a great shoe. To bad that it is not the size that I ordered. It is also not the size that is written on the inside of the shoe. I ordered a size 9 3E. The shoes that were sent are labeled 9 3E. But they are less than 4 inches wide. That's pretty uncomfortable. My previous pair of shoes, from another company, are 9 3E and were never this tight. Your web site says size 9 3E should be 1/2 inch wider than these.
I wore them first walking on cement so they were immediately nonreturnable.

These are my husband's favorite shoes for work for YEARS. He has owned NUMEROUS pairs. BUT, we received these shoes and there is clearly a manufacturer's defect as he could not even get his foot into the left shoe (the right one was fine). Figuring that we had an "odd pair", we called and they replaced it with another pair and we had the SAME problem and these had to be returned as well. It is visibly obvious that the left shoe is much thinner in width then the right shoe. We continued our search and found a shoe store that had "old stock" and bought a pair that fit perfectly....as always....WHICH PROVES MY POINT that there is currently a manufacturing issue with the latest batch of Berkeley shoes. Hoping this gets rectified soon before it's time to order another pair for hubby.

It is a beautiful shoe, now if I could find one that fit.I normally wear a 11 wide but when I ordered an 11e it was at least 1/2 inch to long. Sio I returned and ordered a 10.5 e.I can't begin to get my foot in the shoe. Returning that one also and buy elsewhere.

These loafers are falling apart after two months. Hold off on purchasing these and pay a little more for another brand. The last pair of nice loafers I had lasted 3+ years. I should have gone with those again instead of these.

Dress shoes with pants & blazers; 9e seemed too large; 9d seems on the tight side. have not worn yet on street but based on walking on rugs in late afternoon when feet are largest will probably be all right. do not understand why 9e should be longer than 9d. Wider I can understand. I have ordered multiple shoes from Florsheim online in E width with no problem. This shoe is confusing for sizing.

My husband has a hard time finding narrow shoes and Florsheim seems to be the only company that carries them any more. Unfortunately, this shoe was too tight vertically in the instep. We ended up going with a different style. We had to return this pair.

Pretty disappointed with this purchase. On time shipping was great, left at my door within a day. When I pulled out the shoes they looked great! I tried them out and they were a little snug, I would order a size wider if you decide to purchase.
What really frustrated me was the fact that there was a tear in the back of the shoe. I received these yesterday and wore them to work today. I did not see this tear until about 20 minutes into my walk to work. I know I didn't do anything to tear the shoe, but since I have already worn them, I cannot get a return or exchange. Be sure to thoroughly inspect your product upon receipt. I believed Zappos to check for quality, but it does not appear to be the case, so save yourself the hassle and inspect their product. Or they may send you a defect and you will be forced to keep it.

Shoe did not last 7 months before the sole wore through and the sole started detaching from the upper leather. Previous pairs of this loafer lasted much longer and was able to be re-soled.

Unfortunately, I'm having to return the shoes after wearing them only 4 times due to stitching failing in the upper heel.

These are nice looking shoes but the quality is lacking. First of all, the threading on the shoe is not strong and broke after the first week of wearing. This caused the shoe to come undone; exposing my foot. The threading is exposed on the sole of the shoe so just walking caused the threads to break and thus caused the sole to come partly off the shoe. Additionally, I got a hole in the sole of the shoe after one month of wearing them. This was just from normal wear. The quality of the sole and the threads are poor. I am very disappointed with these shoes.

THE SOLE IS ENTIRELY TOO THIN ON THIS SHOE. I HAD TO ORDER THIS PAIR BECAUSE THE SOLE ON MY CURRENT PAIR OF BLACK BERKLEYS HAS WORN THRU IN JUST 2 YEARS.

I was looking for a airport friendly shoe that I could wear at work. I normally wear a 9.5 4w. The Daily arrived and my foot had an unusual amount of room to slide forward. I should have returned them but decided to give them a try. Unfortunately, the laces do not tighten very much and my foot continued to slide. I'll have to get thicker socks to make this shoe work.

One shoe fit comfortably, the other was too tight, especially on the top of the shoe, not the width or length.

The shoe, although it looks nice and stylish, ended up tearing within the first two weeks of use. The sole of the shoe separated from the toe, making it unwearable. Very disappointed by the sizing as well - I ordered a 14, ended up returning for a 13, that was still too big. I had to insert heel pads to keep my feet from sliding. Incredibly uncomfortable, had to also insert Dr. Shoals.

Bought two pair of these, black and burgandy.The black pair--both shoes fit well. The burgandy pair..the LEFT SHOE IS BIGGER THAN THE RIGHT SHOE!
It's not a case where my feet are of different size.. everyone has one side of one's body bigger than the other to a certain degree. In this case it was the shoes. I have bought other shoes from you-- more expensive ones-- and have not experienced said problem. I can live with the small difference since i'll wear socks which makes them feel ok... but not the case if you go without socks and these shoes! Hey, I'm in Florida!
