I love the vintage style of these- these will always be iconically stylish. I ordered the nude tumbled leather, which is a nice soft material that will give a little bit. The nude color is more like a cream than a warm nude color, but I still like them and am sure I'll wear them both to work and casually during the spring and summer months.
Surprisingly, these were larger than expected. I usually wear 7.5 in flats and an 8 in boots, and the 7.5 were too big. Size 7 fit perfectly. These have a nice, supportive leather, padded insole that seem like will breathe nicely without adding bulk.
Can't wait to incorporate these in my wardrobe!

I ordered the wide, and it was still very narrow. I have other Bass loafers in 10w and they fit like a dream. I wish they would bring back the Washington.

I do wear a wide width but these shoes are snug in a wide. I was hoping they'd stretch with wear. While I believe they did a bit, it's not like your typical leather shoe. I don't know if it's because of the "hard" leather or what. They are also not comfortable (width aside). It doesn't take long before my feet are tired and ache. I expected more from a big name.

I just received the pink metallic penny loafers.This one felt soft and very comfortable. I usually don't wear socks and it felt great! I would highly recommend. (I have a narrow width and usually have to use ball of foot inserts but on this pair I didn't need to)

These are some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned! Worth every penny (including the ones in these penny loafers)! I ordered three sizes because I wasn't sure (11 M, 11 W, 10 W) and went with the 10 Wide. This size is big enough to wear socks without being too tight and small enough to wear them without socks and not slip off my heels. I ordered them in the cognac and now considering the black in tumbled leather or eggplant. Love these shoes!

I like that these are a classic that is a current wardrobe refresh piece for fall. They feel polished with a pair of rolled slim jeans and a fall shirt for sweater--late 50s/early 60s meets 80s meets now. They are very narrow and can be difficult to put on at first. A shoe horn would be a good idea till the leather breaks in (which it will) AND going up the half a size (if you are between two sizes) for the best fit. Once on they feel nice and supportive with a comfortable insole-- a solid shoe for a walking, city lifestyle. Again, they feel like proper shoes and a great piece for fall.
I hope more autumnal colors come back into stock soon!

I wear a size 7.5 95% of the time and ordered 7.5. Fit perfectly. I have normal width feet and there's plenty of room. I can wear them sockless or with medium thick socks. The shoe is really stiff leather and will take a while to break in, but the leather is fine quality and looks like it could last several years. I got the black box leather so they could be casual or be dressed up. Really pleased with the shoes!

I want to love these loafers. I wore them in my teens. I wore them in size 7 or 7.5 when I liked to wear my shoes a bit bigger. I remember then how stiff the black ones were initially. Perhaps that was one of the reasons why I got the bigger sizes. However, my taste in shoes and quality has changed. I order my actual size which is a 6. The length seems okay as long as I get my feet in them which is quite an ordeal. I purchased a shoe horn to get my feet in these. Once I got my feet in them, they seem fine to walk around in them (in carpet flooring only). Admittedly, I am trepidatious about wearing them out and keeping them. The box leather is quite stiff and will no doubt cause blisters in a 6. From the recommendation, I thought I'd first get the 5.5 regular and went to the size 6, which fits like a glove and no heel slip. Going up to a 6.5 will make the shoes too long. Not to mention, the size 6.5 is sold out. I can't bring myself to rate these loafers high on the scale. They are cute and classic. I can only give them a 3 Overall; 2 for Comfort (the black box leather is stiff) out of the box. If you want them to fit like a glove, prepare to get your size and go through the break-in period. If you don't like the regular width, go up a half-size or 1 size. I am still uncertain whether to go with this size or go to 6.5. I will consult. Zappos has terrific customer service, and I am grateful for them making sure I am happy with the size. For this, I stay a forever loyal customer. Hope this perspective helps. It really depends on your discretion and whether you want to get blisters or not. Best.

Way too tight across the top. Couldn't even get them on. Order up in size or width. Returning them.

I haven't had a pair of Weejuns since college, and in a fit of nostaglia I ordered these. I'm so glad I did - they are comfortable, classic and versatile, and I know I'll be wearing them for years. I usually wear an 8.5 or a 9 in most shoes and in this style the 8.5 is perfect for me. They feel a teeny bit tight, but I know the leather will stretch a little with wear. Very happy!

I ordered the blue loafers and they are a super soft high quality leather. Classic style that is timeless. In the past I wore a size 7 as a constant. In the last few years it seems as though vanity sizing has taken over now I wear a 6.5 W whenever available. Well the 6.5 W was huge by at least an inch in length. So I ordered the
6 W and although the width fit my flat wide Fred Flintstone feet the toe box was low and I could see the imprint of my toes through the leather. I did decide to keep them due to the softness of the leather, hoping they would stretch in depth and they did. I wore them a few hours for 3 days and now they fit like a glove. Love them and will probably order the coral color. I don't think I could wear the black ones as they are not the soft tumbled leather.

Classic Bass loafer. Can’t go wrong here. Will have this show for years and it will always be stylish. Great with cropped suites, jeans leggings & khakis. Beautifully made, classic lines & great comfort. You will not be disappointed!

While these are more on the orange side of ‘red’ , they are fun! Really gave my outfit a POP of color and did so with a classic shape and great arch support. Highly recommend these shoes for those who are daring enough to be noticed!!

I just love this shoe! This Bass Weejun is perfect for anything you ask of it. Fits perfectly, is so comfortable, I am not kicking it off the minute I come in the door. I am in jeans all the time, and these add just enough panache' to casual everyday wear. Luckily, Zappo's is out of stock on all colors, so, I can not buy more! But, there is a G.H. Bass outlet not far from me, which I may have to visit soon!

Softest shoe leather ever!
These shoes run way big. The photo shows a size 6.5 M Weejun between a 7.5 M Ugh and 7.5 M B.P.
The 7.5 M Weejun was huge, the 7.0 M still slipped off at the heel, the 6.5 M was too tight, so all went back. That's just me, I guess.
If you're looking for an ultra comfortable, superior leather retro loafer, this is It. Give 'em a try.

I love these shoes. They are beautiful and a classic style. They were also too big. I went with my normal size but ordered a wide after reading the reviews. I then ordered a half size down and they are also a little too large. I am going to try an insert and see if they will work since I think going down another half size will be too small.

I’m normally a size 8.5, and that’s the first size I ordered. I ended up sending them back and ordering a size 8, because there was just a little too much room in the toe. The 8s fit well, but I absolutely see what people are saying about this shoe being rather narrow. I have slightly narrow feet and they still seem snug, but not uncomfortably so. I was also initially concerned about the possibility of heel-rubbing, based on how they felt on the first wear, but that hasn’t been a problem so far. Overall it’s a great shoe, very cute.
