This shoe did not work for me - Although this is a fairly nice-looking shoe, it certainly did not work for me! The sole did not flex at all and the shoe is very heavy! The leather is very nice looking, but I thought the shoe looked so wide in my size 11N. I expected a much more comfortable shoe after reading so many reviews, but I was forced to return them. BUT, Zappos service is excellent!

Ouch. I bought the same shoe in person at Nordstrom and it was the most comfortable loafer I'd had in years. I bought the same size here as a replacement and it is very tight. I'm hoping it will break in, but it's nowhere near as comfortable as my old pair. (To be fair, the old pair lasted a long time.)

If you're wide, go wider - Ordered an 8 wide and normally,the wides at zappos fit fine. But this one, no way too tight. But it's a nice looking shoe so if you have a narrow foot, I'm sure it would be great.

Great style, but NOT a true to size - This shoe looks great, is versatile, but if you are a true narrow, this shoe is not for you. It looks great and this winter, hopefully will fit better with socks. It comes in N, which is what I purchased, but not explicitly a AA. I found that sometimes "N" does not equal AA.

order a size larger - These required some breaking in. It was snug across the vamp. The potential to be comfortable given it fits is great. In black, order a size larger than your usual.

Perfect if you're Cinderella - I liked the look, but could not get my foot into it...I felt like one of Cinderella's stepsisters. It was so narrow, I almost think the pair I received must have been stamped with the incorrect size.

Nice looking shoe, a bit snug. The shoe is quite nice, though it runs smaller than a typical wide width. In fact, it seemed to be more narrow than most medium width shoes.

Nice shoe, a bit too casual, though - This was a wonderfully comfortable loafer, but not quite dressy enough. I really needed something to wear with skirts. Some of your reviewers thought it looked good with skirts; I didn't. (Admittedly, my legs are kind of chunky; maybe women with slimmer calves might be able to wear this with skirts).

Better for people with wide feet! A friend swears by these, so I decided to try. I was disappointed that when I walk, they gap around the sides of the shoe. It's not comfortable or attractive. I do have fairly narrow feet and ankles, but usually do not need a narrow shoe. I may try a narrow in this one, since the look is great!

Nicer look than feel - I bought this shoe for the look and nice reviews. It just wasn't the right fit for my duck-feet. The sides bowed out even though I ordered a wide size. This shoe looked great when tried on with dress slacks, but I recommend this shoe for an evenly shaped, slender foot.

I ordered a size 8.5 Wide and could not get my foot into the shoes at all. They are extremely stiff. They did look nice in the box though.

Just received my order today. Sadly the 6.5 size didn't work for me. Plenty of room in the toe box, but the heel space was too large and my heel slipped out each step I took. Thought about ordering a size 6M, but feared the shoe would not fit correctly in the toe bed. So disappointed! I really wanted these shoes, but will be returning.

These were oddly too large. I've warn this shoe for 5 yrs in the same size that I ordered. I love the style, color, simplicity but had to send the shoes back. Im trying a 2nd pairjust in case it was due to quality control.

From the high rating, I expected more. The shoe is very stiff and when walking and does not have a good "rocking" motion. It is heel down and then the front just slaps down. Very uncomfortable. I was thinking of keeping them and trying to break them in, but when a shoe costs this much, I don't think I should have to. I'm beginning to think I will never find a good loafer.

Even though I love these shoes and well cared for them they will fall apart on their own. I didn't wear as much on purpose and this is what happened within ~2yrs. They've reaped on the side, cracked and leaves a horrible stain in my booties. They are not cheap either.

They are way too tight. I bought two other pairs before the same size and these are way tighter

I ordered a narrow width but nonetheless my foot slips out of the heel because it’s too wide. And the shoes are a bit tight on top of my toes (they are not deep enough).

I really wanted to love these shoes - they looked perfect, exactly the classic, timeless style I was after along with what I hoped would be comfort as well. Not only did they feel too big, as a return or exchange could have remedied that, yet the fit felt odd, almost like wearing a shoe on the wrong foot - hard to describe yet conclude simply not made well. I walked around in them (on carpet, with hose footies) for a few minutes closely evaluating the fit before making myself decide they weren't right and should be returned. It's hard to find a classic (not trendy), quality, stylish and comfortable loafer these days!! Yet I did end up finding one, not quite this style but close, in the Clarks line.

Size is no problem, but the material is very stiff. Since I had foot surgery, I really can't torture myself to have "break-in" time. Sorry I have to return it!

I normally wear a 9.5 but these shoes were very big and looked like men's loafers when I put them on.

I was really disappointed that I could not add a positive review. There is no arch support at all in these shoes, and I was very uncomfortable. They also gap on the outside of the foot, looking sloppy!

This was the hardest shoe that I have ever put on. It was klunky and it did not conform to my foot. The bottom of the shoe was lumpy...huh what was that?

First let me say how much I love this loafer, but it is so disappointing when the shoe doesn't hold up. This is an expensive shoe and I have to replace them every three months. The outer heals of the shoe peel. So embarrassing when you cross your legs and look at your feet and see your heel peeling off. The shoes also scratch very easy. I work in the accounting office at a school district. I dress business casual. I don't rough house or work anywhere to wear the shoe out so quickly. It's unfortunate how badly the shoe holds together. I love this shoe. Just wish it was made better especially because how much they charge for it.
