Super cute and comfortable. I bought the mustard yellow first, never had brightly colored shoes before. They look smashing with blue or green capris, with no socks. Then I bought the beige and teal. I plan to wear in the winter too, with socks. They must run a little narrow, because I have a skinny, narrow foot, so they are perfect for me. I went half a size up so my toes wouldnt be cramped, because they are a little pointier than my minamalist shoes. The leather is buttery soft and stretches some aftrer wearing. I like the leather sole, good for "grounding", which some say is healthy.

I have bunionettes, narrow heels, and have been looking for a long time for a shoe that did not put pressure on the bunionette. These shoes are amazing straight out of the box. The leather is soft and supple and there is just enough stretch in all of the right places. I am now a very big fan of these shoes.

I *love* these shoes. These are my first Weejuns, but certainly not my last.
I originally ordered the blush, but they were too brownish (anyone else remember "dusty rose"?) so I sent them back and exchanged them for the tan.
They are so very comfortable and supportive for a loafer. They fit perfectly to size and width for me and the arch support is great. I've had multiple knee surgeries and comfortable and supportive shoes are a must. I am able to wear them to work and errands afterwards. I love these and will get some in other colors.

These shoes are the most comfortable shoes I own, and I have the worst time finding comfortable shoes. The leather is so soft that they do not give me blisters as most summer shoes do. I use them for walking shoes instead of sneakers. I have them in three colors and am about to buy more.

I have ALWAYS loved the Weejun! It is a classic! It's been years since I have owned a pair. I needed a casual black shoe and this fit the bill! It's great with rolled up jeans and slightly dressy pants as well. They fit me perfectly. Not too narrow. The seem to have more cushion in the sole/heel than I would have expected. I forgot that the bottom sole is leather. It does make it more slippery on some surfaces. I may take them to a cobbler and have them do something to remedy this, because I don't want to give them up.

Loved color! More pewter than silver. Alas, too much "vertical" space in these shoes. Length was good and I'm generally a medium but these run wide. Buttery leather is gorgeous.

I wear a size 10 and am always looking for stylish flats that run narrow. I purchased the Whitney Weejuns in the black tumbled leather. I love them! They look great with jeans or pants. The leather is soft and the shoe is very comfortable. I've worn these to work every day this week (I'm a college professor) and have had no problems with my feet. They do run narrow but for me that was perfect.

These are extremely uncomfortable for a couple of weeks until you break them in, after which they are soft and feel like slippers. They are not as well made as they used to be. There was some uneven stitching on mine. I wear them to work on slow days. I have narrow feet and they stay on fine (wouldn’t want to walk farther than a mile or so in them though)

I ordered my usual size 8 and they were too long. There weren’t any 7.5s available otherwise I would have tried a size down. The leather is nice and soft and I think I would have got a lot of wear out of these. A classic shoe that I will continue to have on my radar for the right size

Very happy with this shoe. I am a 10.5 Regular on the left and a 10 on the right. I have a regular width foot and a wide toe box from German heritage. I lucked out with this shoe. Although the toe box is not wide, the leather is of such quality that it immediately began to mold to my foot. The only issue I had was on the right where the top of the shoe in the back rubs uncomfortably. I expect to break this in. Sophisticated and stylish. I tried another GH Bass in the same size and the toe box was much too narrow. It was also less expensive so maybe it has to do with the quality of the leather? Anyhow, if you have tried another Bass that didn't work for these reasons, this one may do the trick. Best to use a shoe horn as the back is, as I said, stiff. A good quality shoe.

The leather is supper soft, but it felt and looked a bit big slipped off the back of my heel.
High quality craftmanship. I recommend this shoe for sure.

These are good quality shoes. I was really surprised at how nice the leather is. I took my normal size in shoes that I wear without socks. Unfortunately, the wide width of these loafers runs a little narrow. My feet are only slightly wide and I can often wear regular width shoes, and I do think these would have broken in with time. But the real dealbreaker was some very rough stitching under the top of the shoe, which I could tell right away would have torn up the top of my foot if I were to wear them for any amount of time. I wasn't sure that was going to break in and I didn't want to chance it. That may have been a fluke with the pair I got. If you have narrow feet and are looking for a nice penny loafer, try these out!

Love the color and quality of the sole. Runs big! The leather was very soft, which would normally be great, but the shoe runs big, which made it even more loose fitting. I need to size down 1/2 size. I wear size 11 and have a skinny foot but these were significantly bigger and looser fitting them the Sperry loafers I received from Zappos.

These are way too long to be a size 6W. I am a solid 6 with a wide toe box and so often have to try out the wide version. However, these are simply so long that you should not purchase unless you're going to go down a half size down.

I am a standard size 6 with a wide toe box, so ordered the 6W and the length was very long. My foot was popping out with each step. Beware of this sizing.

Runs big. Stitching rubs on big toe bone. So if you have bunions, shoes hurt this area.

I love these shoes -- always have -- but I'm struggling to find a pair that fit well. I read the reviews and tried a wide in my size. Too big. Then I tried a half size down, and regular width -- too small. I'll try one more time for a half size down and wide. Fingers crossed.

I did not receive the soft tumbled leather that I requested. These are stiff and going back.

These are stiffer than the other colored weejuns and a slightly different style also, they go up higher on the sides, hitting my ankle bone. They also run bigger, cute if you are looking for the shinny yuppie look. Returning for cognac.

Nicely constructed except the foam insole is glued in place.
The medium width is fairly wide at the back. It fell off my feet, as I have narrower heels. No extra room in the toe box, so sizing down isn't an option.

Runs small - had to order a 1/2 size up from normal, and the heel cuts into my ankle. However, these are sooo cute (I purchased the teal color), and the leather is very soft (they should easily wear in quickly), so I'm definitely keeping them.

Bought these to jazz up my jean and ankle pants. They are classic and the color is unique enough to be fun. I found them true to size and comfortable. I have other Bass shoes and they, like this one, are well made. This classic look is perfect for dress down Fridays, that allow comfort but keep the style.

This is the Classic penny loafer - nice sturdy leather shoe with arch support. The toe box is narrow - fit me fine but the heel is wide and I walked out of the shoe. I usually wear 8.5/9 narrowish - ordered the 9M.
Thanks Zappo for making shopping and returns so easy.
