This is about my 4th purchase of this particular shoe which has been my favorite in the past. The shoes I purchased this time are the most uncomfortable shoes I have worn, they are terrible.

Nice tailored look but not so comfortable for me - Shoe is nicely made, appears to be good quality. Although they are not yet fully broken in, the shoe so far is not very comfortable. The sole is stiff and clunky which keeps my foot from bending and leaves me clomping rather than walking. The outside edge of the shoe hits at a weird place and digs painfully into my ankle bone. I bought them to replace my 3-year-old Born loafers, but the Borns are so much more comfy I can't give them up!

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.

ABSOLUTELY a classy, sharp looking shoe. I bought a 6 1/2 in Cafe. They tend to be on the small side. The shoe is tight on the top of my feet and the heels are stiff. As I love the way they look, I purchased a 7 in black and sadly they were too big. Great looking, but not the most comfortable shoe.

more to a shoe than looks. This is a very attractive shoe. However, its comfort level leaves quite a bit to be desired. I find the insole hard and inflexible. After 3 months of use, the heel is beginning to peel. I've purchased F. Sarto shoes in the past so I'll consider this disappointment an isolated incident.

Pretty shoe, but doesn't fit! The length was too short and the heel too wide. A big disappointment since the shoe is so attractive!

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.

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.

The patent version is almost plastic-like and difficult to get on my foot. Could use some detail on the front to add interest. Not very comfortable or flexible, perhaps the leather might be a better choice.

These are quite heavy shoes and not springy. Also, the heels slipped on my feet. A bit clunky looking and feeling.

The style is beautiful, but the comfort is just not there due to the stiffness of the material. The size and width are acurate, but had to force the shoe on due to stiffness of material. I will be returning the pair and ordering something softer.

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.

Nice width but the shoe was a bit hard/stiff. The sole though was nice and flexible. The patent shoe looked very pretty. I returned this shoe because the leather was too hard for my feet which are somewhat sensitive.
