I was in need of another loafer type of shoe and this one was perfect. Cannot go wrong with the classic penny.

Well made and toe box is a bit tight. I'm hoping it will break in and become more comfortable.

Don't bypass these anymore! Through a bit of experimentation, I found the squeak issue ( and it IS major) is caused by friction between insole and outsole solution is powder between the two just sprinkle it under the arch pad and 'swish' it around MAJOR improvementable to sneak up on coworkers! Love the quality of these shoes

Great looking shoe, fit is fine, but there is a squeak that was more than your average "breaking in" squeak. The sheep skin insole does create a fair amount of noise. Friction was the cause of the sound so I thought to lubricate the friction with some gold bond powder. Shook it around a little bit to get in all the nooks and crannies and it works like a charm. I do not regret this purchase. Just had to take an extra step out of the box. Definitely beats building a pair of loafers myself.

Shoes are great and comfortable. They are my second pair. However they squeak when I walk. Hopefully this will go away with time.

The shoes look great and seem very well made. The materials are of high quality. They are a bit on the narrow size, but otherwise fit well.

These halstead penny loafers run at least a half-size larger, especially if your foot is on the narrower side. Tan color is a bit lighter than pictured, but still look good.

Great looking shoes. I wish they were wider, tight from the sides.

For the price, there should have been an accompanying shoe bag for the shoes. Overall, quality of the leather was somewhat disappointing as it felt the leather wasn't top of the line leather.

Size runs VERY small. I'm almost always a solid 9 1/2 shoe, and the 9 1/2 was very tight.

All in all, I liked the shoes. The look was fine. The fit was fine too. But the noise when walking was unacceptable and it didn't matter the surface you were walking on. Sorry, I had to return them.

I love these shoes, this is the third pair I own. My only complaint is they squeak excessively. I don't know what I can do to alleviate this embarrassing noise. My other pairs did the same think for months before they stopped making noise.

The shoe was a sloppy fit, even with an insert. You definitely need to carry narrow widths.

Had a similar pair from 10+ years ago that finally wore out after near daily use. This pair was extremely narrow. I had to return. Ordered the XC4 M/W fit and was able to leave the medium insert in as removing was too wide.

Beautiful shoes but much too narrow. Size 10 1/2 seems to be closer to size 10. Returned. Would love a wider version of this shoe.
