Love the look of these, and they were soft and seemed they'd be so comfortable -- I wanted them to fit, but they didn't work with my custom orthotic. The footbed isn't removable so there wasn't enough room for them and my foot. Additionally, they seemed smaller than my other FS in the same size. I ordered 10.5N.

These look cute and with a pant ok but don’t do any walking
Very stiff and honestly felt disjointed from the front to the back of the shoe
Really weird feeling

I tried both this shoe and the Carolynn. They are both lovely shoes. Carolynn has more personality but this one is very nice too.
I have a bunion and I just don't feel confident the toe box is big enough so I'm sending these back. Otherwise, I ordered my normal size and it seems right.

I really love the way these shoes look - even more in person. Unfortunately, they did not fit me well. They were not wide enough and my foot slipped out at the heel. Bummer.

I bought this shoe in three different options and was not able to get a fit. I have worn this style of Sarto loafer for years and have a pair in plain leather in black, navy and brown. The black is the oldest and although the shoe is in good shape the lining has been falling apart so I decided to get a new pair. I noted the metallic black and ordered that in 9M which is the size of the previous 3 pairs. However the metallic was narrow across the instep and felt a bit smaller and tight on my foot. I ordered in a 9 1/2 wide and it was swimming on me. So I ordered it in a 9 wide and it was almost right but the wide wasn't only wider in the instep, it was also wider in the heel, which made it slip off my foot when I walked a bit. So all three pairs went back to my disappointment. It was a beautiful patent and so versatile. Just be aware that the patent may be narrower across the instep and will not stretch like leather. I will probably eventually just order it again in the black plain leather.

These fit as expected; its a pretty stiff shoe, but in a good way...I feel like these things will last for years. I believe they will break in nice though. I would suggest buying a very thin shoe insert for a little bit of cushion.

I have ordered these before and love something about them but they're never quite right for me. A beautiful shoe but a bit masculine and clunky and difficult to get on due to long top.

i purchased my 1st pair and they had a malfunction in the heel that turned into a divot but I returned them and got a new pair no problem. I loved them so much a got a second pair originally for "work" was what I told my husband but I wear them all day and then out at night with jeans and my feet are always very happy. so today I purchased a 3rd pair. needless to say these are my all time favorite shoe. please never stop making them.

I have ordered these shoes a few times to wear with my uniform with my pants. Also I enjoy them as a nice pair of loafers to wear with jeans that spruces up my outfit. They are very comfortable. My only complaint is over time where the shoe creases it start to crack the patent leather.

I am on my 3rd or 4th pair of black and now have then in brown as well. Huge comfort, wear all day and walk all day no problem. I LOVE these shoes. They look great w/jeans, dress pants and I've even worn them with tights and a skirt. Never discontinue these!

They felt great right out of the box. Wore them for a long long day, and only got one minor hot spot (it was a hot and humid day, you know how that can be...). Wore them the next day with a sock and now they are perfect! The look fabulous. Need to get them in other colors.

These shoes are super comfortable but lack in style. A co-worker described them as tuxedo shoes. Great for days when I need to substitute comfort for style.

This is my third pair of these shoe and unfortunately these do not fit the same way my others did. They seem too tight in the width and the bridge of my foot. Hopefully with time they will stretch.

Great fit out of the box. Had to replace favorite loafer and this is definitely the right choice. Wide enough toe box for the post-bunionectomy foot and rigid big toe. Looks great with dress pants.

This is a nice looking shoe to wear to work or with a suit. I usually wear a 9.5, but for this shoe, I had to get a 9.0. It is fairly comfortable, but I wouldn't want to be on my feet all day. They are not as cushy as Merrell loafers.

I'm pretty pleased with this shoe. I have high arches, so slip-on shoes are not always an option. This shoe is a little tight at the top of my foot, but it will clearly become more comfortable the more I wear it. I am also going to use shoe trees to prevent creasing. Simple, classic styling and comfort makes this a great work shoe.

This is a classic loafer. It does slip off the foot, so you need inserts and possibly heel cushions. The sole is a little heavy. These look nice with slacks. If you are a person who does not like to wear heels, or those narrow "girlie" shoes, then this shoe might be your style. I feel they are pretty durable. I wear them 2-3 days a week. So far I am happy with them.

These shoes are nice in appearance, and quality and true to size. I ordered the size 10.5 for extra space, but returned them for a size 10. The size 10 fits better, but my feet still slide around in them, making them very uncomfortable for walking even short distances. That said, nice shoes, just didn\'t fit my feet well.

This is a good trouser shoe, could be used for casual office wear. The style is chunky, with a thick and wide sole. The toe box is quite broad and gives plenty of room to the big toe - very comfortable. The shoe is roomy and on me it was too wide, especially in the heel. I returned the pair I ordered, but will consider re-ordering it in a narrower size in the future.

The shoes look great. They were VERY stiff initially and took some "breaking in." Since then I am very happy with the shoes and look very sharp.

I bought these for work where I needed some "totally enclosed" non-woven shoes. They look great and are true to width (I wear narrows). The only negative thing about them is that the leather is very stiff and the top of my big toes get sore after wearing them for a day. Because the leather is rigid, it cuts into my toes as it flexes with movement.

These shoes take a little time to break in. They have good padding, but the upper leather is initially a little stiff. The more you wear them, the more give that they have. Stylistically, they are just a basic casual/work shoe, but that’s what I needed.

Great basic loafers. Made well. Comfortable from the first time I wore them all day. The only negative about them is that they run large. I have to wear them with socks.
