Customer Reviews Sam Edelman Loraine

I bought the paprika silky velvet color and man, I feel like I should be wearing a matching elbow-patch blazer smoking on a corncob pipe (cabbie hat optional). These shoes instantly upgrade an outfit from aight to extra, so just be ready to lean in to the attention they bring. They're super comfy and slip on without me having to use a tool to wedge my hoof in, yet they're not so loose that my feet are slipping out when I walk. Helpful if you live in an area where shoes off indoors is a custom. I also like that the modest height heel clicks when you walk, so it sounds professional while looking like a slipper. My only gripe is the lack of arch support and that they don't accommodate orthotics (not quite wide or deep enough). Even with little gel arch inserts thrown in, I feel like it's just a matter of time before my constant walking wears all support out. But the style and whisper of "fashionista" when people look at my feet is enough to make me just stock up on more Dr. Scholl's arches and wear these as long as I can.

My more fashionable pair of loafers for the office. A bit tight where the buckle is for my foot, but not enough to make me return them.

These shoes are beautiful and I loved how they look. However, I took off one star because I have to return them. I have at least 5 other pairs of Sam Edelman shoes, and am always a 7.5. I'm also a 7.5 in almost every brand. If anything, I sometimes wear an 8. Surprisingly, with these shoes, they were too big in 7.5. Even with a thin sock. I will exchange for a 7 but it's just so strange! I never wear a 7.

I returned these for a half size smaller which were perfect.

It ran a half size bigger but otherwise a beautiful shoe for a reasonable price!

Fits great, look awesome but the red finish will not last long, it’s started to wear off on the toe and I only wore them for one day unfortunately.

I ordered my usual size in wide so I have more room in the toe box. Width is great, length is too long though, a solid 3" longer than other size 8 shoes I own. love them though so re-ordering a smaller size.

Love my new shoes, originally ordered an 8 since that is my true size, but these run long due to the almond toe, so returned the 8 and got the 7.5w

These are beautiful shoes. I ordered the peacock snakeskin and just like other reviewers, noticed they were quite narrow and also very long (at least an extra inch beyond my toe in the 6.5. I have narrow feet so no problem on width but the extra length made me worry I'd trip over my toes, scuffing the shoes and/or falling on my face (I am clumsy). So I sent them back. The top of the shoe is quite close-fitting as others have noted, and I have very high arches and knew a smaller size would never fit over the rise. So sad to miss out on these! They are lovely.

These are SO cute! I had to return though, because other reviewers identified this problem: the shoes run a tad large, but also very tight across the rise, so for me, size 6.5 (and I ordered my size) with very high arches, I could barely get my foot inside and there was at least an inch left in the toe. The quality of materials and workmanship was excellent, I had purchased the peacock snakeskin and it was gorgeous, but sadly, due to fit, I had to return.

It’s so strange. I have several Lorraine loafers and all fit size 7. However the nude runs so large. Love this shoe

Great loafer for the price. Looks and feels like the more expensive brands.

I am usually around a size 8-8.5, I ordered both 8 and 8.5 and ended up returning the 8.5 When I first tried them on, size 8 fits perfectly in length but a bit tight in width, and size 8.5 is just too loose. After i wore them for 2 days in the house, the leather stretched a bit and now I feel pretty comfortable in them.

Pretty shoe but must watch how you wear them, Thurston Howell the third looking. Lol but true!

I usually wear a 6.5 W and they were too big so I returned them for a 6W. I was surprised that they were still a little bit larger than I would prefer but I kept them and wear socks with them rather than hose. Nice soft leather. I hope they don’t stretch too much.

The sole is solid, I was looking for something a bit more flexible

Gorgeous loafers, but the pair I received were a bit defective. which affected the fit. I am ordering another color.

Liked the look and the quality of the shoe though it doesn't have much support. However, because I have a bunion it wasn't comfortable so I had to return.

These are to shoes perfect wear with jeans or nice narrow pants! The color (green) is fun, as well. They run large so I’d suggest going down 1/2 size. Great value, too.

They fit great, the color is nice and the buckle is cute. I wear a size 11 and because they have a low heel, they look very long... but they’re 11s, so that’s to be expected. If they had a little taller heel and more of an arch they’d look a little better on me but they’re comfortable. I walk a lot during my work days so I’ll keep them.

Loved the look of this shoe but needed to return them because they seemed to run large.

No arch support but these shoes are incredibly comfortable. Probably not the most stylish shoe, but it’s such a basic, classic style that they should get lots of use for many years to come.

I couldn't decide which size to go with based on the varying reviews. I am typically between an 8-8.5 in shoes outside of running shoes. They do feel a little big but perfect in width. It's not bad enough that I ordered an 8 to try out, but if I were to get another pair I'd try an 8 first. But they work well enough even if a little bigger. Look great though, love the shoes overall.
